Is it time to re-roof or repaint? Maybe 100% it ain't! Today you'll learn that if you have a "half a mind" to re-roof or repaint, you just may be right. Here's why: the north side of a home's roof often outlasts the south side by many years. Why? The north side gets less direct sun, while the southern exposure endures sizzling heat and UV rays. The result? The sun deteriorates the south side, while the north is often far less affected. So before you prepare to fully re-roof, see if only the south side needs replacing right now. Sometimes 50% is all one needs, and it will get you by until it's time again to re-roof. The same goes for repainting. Perhaps the south-facing side is all you need this time. It's worth considering when both time and money are short. Who knows...the next time you say "I've got a half a mind to paint," you just may be right!
