Repair, Patch or Replace??


REPAIR, PATCH OR REPLACE?




When to repair or patch your roof:

Every roof needs to be replaced eventually, but the good news is that you may be able to repair or patch it! If there is only minor damage, your roof is still fairly new, or only a small area has been affected, this may be a sign that only a repair or patch job is warranted. A fallen branch, or even wind could affect only a certain area or areas of the roof. 



When your roof may need to be fully replaced:

As mentioned in our last blog post, age is one of the most common reasons your roof would need to be replaced. If you notice a significant amount of missing shingles or shingles that have missing granules and clogging gutters, it is most definitely time to replace your full roofing system. Are your shingles curling at the edges or discolored? These are sure signs that the efficiency of your roof is declining. The biggest concern would be sagging in the roof, as this points to rotting and you may need some, if not all of your decking replaced.




Your roof plays a HUGE part in protecting you, your family and your belongings from storms and other weather related issues. It is always a good idea to have a professional assess your damage, as they can help you determine which method of repair is needed.
