Is It Time to Replace Your Mansard Roof?

Age is the number one concern when it comes to reroofing a mansard roof because you want to replace the roofing material proactively based on the expected lifespan and before it begins to fail. If you’ve perhaps already reached that point, there are indications to watch for. These can include a sagging roof line, shingles that are missing, loose, torn, curled up, or balding, flashing that is missing, damaged, or rusting, and signs of moisture, including leaks but also fungal and other growth on the shingles.

A New Roof is a Smart Investment

Reroofing your mansard roof in a timely manner is a smart investment because it protects the structure of your home from water damage. The roof also works in conjunction with the gutter system to protect your siding, windows, foundation, and landscape, and the roof is a key component of the building envelope as well. That means that a well-functioning roof will make your home quieter and more comfortable and also more affordable to heat and cool.

Mansard vs. Gambrel Roof

A gambrel roof is a type of gable roof. It’s often associated with the Dutch Colonial style and will usually have four as opposed to two slopes but maintains the gable design. A mansard roof is a hip roof that borrows some design features from the gambrel roof but differs in that it has hip ends and not gables. The mansard style is often chosen for aesthetic reasons, but from a functional perspective, the gambrel roof will typically shed rainwater faster and more efficiently while the mansard roof will better withstand high winds and snow and ice accumulation.
