Your roof does much more than protecting your home from the environment, it adds beauty and flair to your home’s style. Through the various weather and as your roof ages, wind, rain, ice, or old material can cause damage to your roof – making it lose its appeal and function. When roofing issues arise, it’s time to either repair or replace your roof to restore it back to normal.

Should The Roof Be Repaired?
If you noticed a new leak after a storm, or a few shingles are missing after high winds, you may need your roof repaired. For example, if you notice that a few of your roof’s shingles are curling or losing granules, this could possibly mean that the shingles are past their life expectancy.
The shingles are designed to move water off of the roof onto the ground. If the shingles curl, the water collects on the roof instead of running off of the roof, which could lead to a water leak, a simple repair could solve this costly problem.

Should The Roof Be Replaced?
Your home’s roof keeps you and your family protected from the outside elements, though sometimes issues arise with your roof’s structure and it may need to be replaced. Whether or not a roof should be replaced instead of simply repaired is up to the homeowner; however, if the cost of repairing every broken piece of the roof is more than the cost to replace the roof entirely, this is a good idea. Sometimes, it is obvious the roof needs to be replaced. Other times, it isn’t so clear. Rely on a professional for guidance in this area.

Even if there are no visible signs of roofing damage, it’s a good idea to have your roof inspected every year by a skilled roofing contractor.
