Installing a new residential roof is a major home improvement project. Proper installation is critical for maximizing your roof’s performance, longevity, and aesthetic appeal. At Alberto Roofing, our skilled crews have installed countless new roofs of all types on Huntington Park homes. We can help with every phase of the roof installation process, including:
Getting a new roof is a wise investment in your home, but it’s also a significant expense. Proper care and timely maintenance can help you maximize the life of your roof and avoid premature replacement. Here are some tips:
Keep It Clean
Sweep or blow off leaves, twigs, and debris that can trap moisture and spur algae, mold and rot. Don’t let anyone pressure wash your roof though, as this can damage the materials.
Trim Overhanging Branches
Cut back any tree limbs that rub against your roof or drop debris on it. This prevents abrasion damage and keeps pests from accessing your roof.
Address Storm Damage
After a major storm, check your roof for signs of damage like missing shingles, ponding water, or cracks. Make repairs promptly to prevent leaks.
Maintain Gutters and Downspouts
Clean out your gutters and downspouts regularly so they can effectively drain water away from your roof and foundation. Make sure downspouts are directed away from your house.
Ensure Proper Ventilation
Good attic ventilation helps regulate temperatures and moisture levels under your roof to avoid damage. Make sure vents are clear and consider adding more if needed.
Even if your roof isn’t leaking or showing obvious signs of damage, it’s smart to have it professionally inspected periodically. Many roofing problems start small and are easy to overlook, but they can snowball into major headaches if neglected. During a residential roof inspection, the inspector will examine your roof inside and out, assessing factors such as:
No matter how well-built and maintained, every roof has to be replaced eventually. Most residential roofs last 20-30 years, although some higher-end materials like metal and tile can last 50+ years with proper upkeep.
Replacing your residential roof is a significant undertaking, but it also offers a great opportunity to upgrade your home’s protection, energy efficiency, and curb appeal. Alberto Roofing streamlines the roof replacement process through:
Not sure if your roof is ready for replacement? Here are some key indicators:
Age
Check your records to determine when your current roof was installed. If it’s nearing or past its expected lifespan based on the material, replacement may be more practical than repair.
Recurring Leaks
If you find yourself having to patch leaks year after year, your roof has likely deteriorated to the point that spot repairs are no longer effective. Continuing this cycle will only lead to worsening water damage.
Extensive Damage
Large sections of missing, cracked, curled or rotted shingles, gaps in your roof decking, widespread moss/algae growth, and rusted/corroded flashings are all signs of a roof that may need to be replaced.
Outdated Appearance
Even if your older roof isn’t failing, it may be bringing down your home’s visual appeal and value. An updated roof can greatly enhance your home’s beauty and marketability.
High Energy Bills
Aged, damaged roofs often lose their insulating properties and allow air leaks, forcing your HVAC system to work overtime. Upgrading to a more energy-efficient roof can rein in utility costs.
When it’s time for a new roof, you have an opportunity to change your roofing style. The two main options are flat roofs and pitched (sloped) roofs. Here’s a comparison to help you decide which is right for your home:
Flat Roof | Pitched Roof |
Lower installation costs | Higher installation costs |
Easier to access & maintain | Harder to access, costlier maintenance |
Less energy efficient | Better insulation & energy efficiency |
Good for solar panels & roof decks | Harder to mount solar or create usable space |
Contemporary, minimalist style | Traditional, homey aesthetic |
Prone to ponding water | Better drainage due to slope |

Most asphalt shingle roofs last 20-30 years, while higher-end materials like metal and tile can last 50+ years with proper maintenance. However, factors like severe weather, low-quality installation, and lack of upkeep can shorten a roof’s lifespan.
Installing new shingles over old ones, a practice called reroofing or an overlay, is possible in some situations. However, this is not recommended, as it can shorten the life of the new shingles and void your warranty. It’s best to remove the old materials down to the decking.
Replacing a residential roof typically takes anywhere from a few days to two weeks, depending on factors like the size and complexity of the roof, the materials being installed, and the weather.
A new residential roof that is properly ventilated and features adequate insulation can improve your home’s energy efficiency. Materials like cool roof shingles and tile can also help deflect heat. These factors can reduce the load on your HVAC system, potentially lowering your utility costs.
