Weakened materials also provide less protection from weather, are less resistant to impact damage, and are more likely to collapse or even shear off during severe storms. They can also become less energy-efficient, making heating and cooling more expensive, and invalidate your home insurance policy. Preventative maintenance and care can help, but eventually, all roofs need to be replaced.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-86e6dcb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"86e6dcb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<table class=\"responsive-table\">\n  <tbody>\n    <tr>\n      <td><strong>Time to Read<\/strong><\/td>\n      <td>\n        <ul>\n          <li>6\u20138 minutes<\/li>\n        <\/ul>\n      <\/td>\n    <\/tr>\n    <tr>\n      <td><strong>What You\u2019ll Learn<\/strong><\/td>\n      <td>\n        <ul>\n          <li>Why older roofs can be dangerous<\/li>\n          <li>Common age-related shingle problems<\/li>\n          <li>How age can lead to leaks, pests, and rot<\/li>\n          <li>The connection between roof age and energy costs<\/li>\n          <li>Whether warranties and insurance will cover an older roof<\/li>\n        <\/ul>\n      <\/td>\n    <\/tr>\n    <tr>\n      <td><strong>Next Steps<\/strong><\/td>\n      <td>\n        <ul>\n          <li>Speak to a Roof Maxx dealer to get a free quote<\/li>\n          <li>Have your roof treated with Roof Maxx<\/li>\n        <\/ul>\n      <\/td>\n    <\/tr>\n  <\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2b1d3112 e-con-full post-lf-main e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"2b1d3112\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4fc2c34f e-con-full post-lf-main-text-inicial e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"4fc2c34f\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-77abd884 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"77abd884\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The older your roof is, the more likely it is to become structurally unsound, unsafe to walk on, unreliable in storms, and hazardous to your health.
