Roof Repairing Services

The essential guide to roof replacement

Maintaining the roof of your home regularly protects your house from the various elements of nature and also adds a good look to it. 

Should you go for a roof repair or replacement?

It is very common for a homeowner to debate on the question of whether to repair a roof and save money rather than going all out and replacing it. The answer to this can be derived from the fact that if your roof has some minor replaceable issues or is severely damaged and needs instant replacement. 

Here are the top 5 signs to look out for roof replacement: 

  1. Roof is old: If your roof is the standard one with the asphalt shingles, it tends to have a lifespan of anywhere from 12-15 years. If your roof age is much more than that, it is best that you replace it.

  2. Broken or damaged flashing: Flashing is the type of material on your roof who is used to keep out moisture from your roof joints. If your roof flashing is either missing or damaged, it is best recommended to replace your roof.

  3. Missing or curling shingles: If the shingles of your roof are either broken, missing, buckling, or curling due to exposure to the various elements or damage by nature, this puts not only your roof but your entire house structure at risk.

  4. Animal or pest infestation: If you find that your roof or parts of your house have been taken over by animals or pests, it might be due to the access they got through damaged parts of your roof.

  5. Discolored walls or ceilings: If you notice water stains on your ceiling or water dripping from your ceiling or walls, you could be facing a roof leak.
