How to Decide Whether to Repair or Replace a Roof
If you’re like most homeowners, your residence is the biggest investment you’ll ever make. So it makes sense to do your best to keep on top of maintenance and to pursue any needed projects to ensure that you keep your residence looking its best. But some problems need to be rectified for reasons other than purely aesthetics. One example of this is your roof. If there are problems, you need to do something about it. While you’ll be able to repair some problems, you’ll need an all-out replacement for other issues. A Campbell, CA metal roofing company will help you determine which route to take.
Trees and leaves, condensation, rain, window, and even the sun can damage your roof over time. Some of these problems can be avoided while others can only be mitigated. Here’s a look at some things to consider if you find yourself pondering whether to repair or replace your roof.
Moisture
Moisture is a common roofing problem, and you should be aware of signs of any moisture issues. A moisture problem on your roof could potentially be repairable — depending on the extent of the issue. One way to find out if your moisture problems are serious enough to warrant a possible roofing change rather than merely a repair is to assess the walls inside your house. If you see signs of moisture, this may be a sign that you have a leaking roof. A roofing company will be able to determine if you have a small problem — perhaps localized in one area — or a big problem – perhaps impacting a large section of the roof. If the problem is extensive, you might have to get your roof replaced. The roofer will explain your options in such a scenario.
Age
You also need to consider the age of your roof. So if you have roof damage and realize that your roof is at or near the end of its life expectancy, you might simply opt to replace it rather than repair it. It probably wouldn’t make much sense to repair something that should be replaced anyhow.
Shingles Issues
Are your shingles curled, torn, or even missing? If the problem is in a relatively small area, then you might be able to get by with a repair job. But if the problem is all over the place on your roof, then the right solution might be an outright roof replacement.
