Almost every homeowner will have to decide whether to have their roof repaired or replaced at some point. Although reputable roofers can examine your roof and provide their professional assessment, you may educate yourself by being aware of the telltale indicators that a roof requires repair as opposed to replacement.
Indications Your Roof Needs Repair
Looking at your roof from the ground is one of the greatest ways to determine its condition. When the weather is clear, examine the entire area surrounding your roof using your binoculars. Search for any loose, broken, or missing shingles and make a note of where you locate them. Examine any protrusions, especially where they meet the roof, such as dormers, exhaust pipes, and chimneys. The flashing ought to be present and undamaged. Verify that there are no loose hangers or gutter lengths by inspecting the gutters.
You will probably need to make minor repairs to your roof if you discover problems similar to these in small places. Additionally, leaks in the roof usually need to be fixed rather than replaced. Make sure repairs are covered by your roofing warranty by checking. Our team of skilled roofers can fix your roof without breaking your guarantee.
Indications Your Roof Needs to be Replaced
The first factor to take into account when thinking about replacing your roof is its age. Roofs with asphalt shingles older than thirty years usually need to be replaced. Slate roofs survive much longer—more than 70 years—while metal roofs only last 50 years. You can perform the previously mentioned roof inspection if you're unsure about the age of your roof. You should also be aware of other indications of age, such as curling or cupping shingles.
To find out your possibilities, it's advisable to speak with a qualified roofing contractor. Not only does replacing your roof give you a more dependable, high-performing roof, but it also gives you the opportunity to update your façade and improve curb appeal.
