Here's a question most homeowners probably can't answer:
How old is your roof?
Not when you bought the house.
When was the roof actually installed?
That's worth knowing.
Find the paperwork if you have it. Ask the previous owner. Check your home-improvement records.
Your roof is one of the biggest systems protecting your home, and knowing its age helps you plan instead of being surprised.
Homeownership is a lot easier when you're proactive instead of reactive.
