When your roof becomes damaged, your home could have major structural issues. Roof leaks could promote moisture buildup leading to ruined walls and siding, and it could also cause water to drip into furniture that damages them. In addition, roof leaks could cause short circuits once they reach electrical wiring.

It isn’t easy to know whether a roof repair is sufficient or whether having a roof replacement is more appropriate. Only a professional roofing contractor can help you decide which is best for your home.

When to Get a Roof Repair?

Minor Damage

Roof repair means fixing small damages without needing to replace many parts of the roof. These include small leaks, damaged, torn, or missing asphalt shingles, or replacing a piece of metal sheet.

Moderate Damage

If you have notable damage to your roof but are located in one area of your roof, we can perform a partial reroofing. Partial reroofing could cost less than a complete roof replacement. However, having a partial re-roofing on one location could affect the aesthetics of your home. It would be harder to match the color of your existing roofing materials and give your place an uneven roofing color.

When to Have Roof Replacement

Having a roof replacement comes with significant upfront costs. However, remember that having a new roof is expected to last many years. New roof installation will give you the best protection from the elements and peace of mind. Here are some of the benefits of having roof replacement:

  1. Aesthetic – Your roof is one of the most visible parts of your home. An old and damaged roof makes a house look old and poorly maintained. Our roofing company can help you with new roof installation to enhance the look of your home and make it look fresh and exciting.
  2. Greater Energy Efficiency- Today’s shingles are designed to repel heat. Repelling heat from the sun prevents excess heat from entering your home. The less heat you have, the less of your HVAC system to work to keep a cool temperature; thus, you can save a lot of energy bills.
  3. Peace of Mind – Reputable roofing company covers a manufacturer’s warranty. Working with them will give you peace of mind knowing that you’re protected from the elements.
