There are some things in your home that you’ll need to replace on a regular basis. For example, most homes burn through (no pun intended) smoke alarms every couple of years as they reach their use-by-date and newer tech enters the market.

For most homes, the roof they’re built with is the one they use for a majority of their time standing. This is because roofs are tough. No matter what roofing material you use, your home’s roof is guaranteed to last [...]
