The sheer variety of ways that energy efficiency can be leached from a home is one of the greatest problems facing the diligent owner. Improperly sealed windows, old siding, inadequate insulation in the walls  -- there is, unfortunately, a plethora of little escape routes and crannies for the heat to leave and the cold to work its way in. In this article we’ll talk about some of these routes, and go over some practical ways to address them.  [Read More](https://blog.buildersandremodelers.com/how-to-keep-your-energy-bills-low-this-winter) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.buildersandremodelers.com/how-to-keep-your-energy-bills-low-this-winter#comments-listing) Topics: [Window Tips](https://blog.buildersandremodelers.com/tag/window-tips), [Windows](https://blog.buildersandremodelers.com/tag/windows), [Roofing](https://blog.buildersandremodelers.com/tag/roofing), [Siding](https://blog.buildersandremodelers.com/tag/siding) ## [How Cold Weather Affects Your Roof](https://blog.buildersandremodelers.com/how-cold-weather-affects-your-roof) Posted by [Builders and Remodelers](https://blog.buildersandremodelers.com/author/builders-and-remodelers) on Nov 5, 2020 2:07:34 PM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://blog.buildersandremodelers.com/hubfs/How%20cold%20weather%20effects%20your%20roof.jpg)](https://blog.buildersandremodelers.com/how-cold-weather-affects-your-roof) Cold weather can put a massive strain on your roof. Whether it's from moisture accumulation, snow, or freezing temperatures, the toll winter can take on your roof can have widespread consequences.  It's important to evaluate your roof before the winter rolls around, and ensure that it's ready to take on any challenges it may present. ## **What Cold Weather Does to Your Roof** [Read More](https://blog.buildersandremodelers.com/how-cold-weather-affects-your-roof) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.buildersandremodelers.com/how-cold-weather-affects-your-roof#comments-listing) Topics: [Roofing](https://blog.buildersandremodelers.com/tag/roofing) ## [Cost of New Roofs Offset by ROI; Resale Value](https://blog.buildersandremodelers.com/cost-of-new-roofs-offset-by-roi-resale-value) Posted by [Builders and Remodelers](https://blog.buildersandremodelers.com/author/builders-and-remodelers) on May 26, 2020 4:58:33 PM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://blog.buildersandremodelers.com/hubfs/bird-s-eye-view-of-three-houses-1546166.jpg)](https://blog.buildersandremodelers.com/cost-of-new-roofs-offset-by-roi-resale-value) Leaking roof? Missing shingles? Signs of weather damage? It may be time to consider installing a new roof. An old, ineffective roof will substantially raise the heating and cooling bills of a home, and can even cause serious structural damage over time. Additionally, the resale value of a home can pivot tremendously, depending on the age and structural integrity of the roof. While typical home roof replacement projects can take a few days to complete, the impact that a new roof has on the overall resale value and monthly energy bills of a home ultimately make the project well worth it.

Expense, durability, and ease of installation all come into play, not to mention the visual appeal a well-designed roof can lend to your house. The local climate and weather considerations are a lesser known --but essential-- factor that builders and homeowners must weigh as well. Asphalt, slate, tile, and metal are all viable options, but which will suit your home and the climate of the Twin Cities best?

What sort of materials are best for a roof replacement? Many homeowners ask similar questions when it comes to roofing repair and replacement. It is a common belief that a roof only requires replacement if external damage occurs due to an accident. However, there is a possibility that it may spring a leak due to normal wear and tear as it completes its lifespan. Sometimes a roof may function just fine but may look worn out, requiring a makeover to maintain curb appeal and resale value.
