Reasons to Choose Roof Replacement Over Roof Repair

Are you contemplating whether it is time to get a roof repair or a replacement? Selecting the proper service as soon as you detect an issue, like a missing shingle or loose-fitting flashing after a storm, is essential to saving money and time in the long run. Here are some important reasons why you should replace your roof instead of repairing it.

Replacing Your Roof

While the cost of a roof replacement is often high and the process time-consuming, the payoff is no doubt more significant. If you fail to tear off your old, broken-down roof soon and install a brand-new, efficient roof, you may face extensive and costly repairs in the future.

By choosing to replace your roof, the roofing contractor will be able to identify the root cause of leaks or wood rot, for example, and come up with long-term solutions, such as patching up broken shingles or replacing the felt paper and sheathing, which will benefit you for many, many years to come. Another advantage to consider is the fact that you will not have to spend for minor repairs on your roof again in a long time as long as you observe routine maintenance.

Repairing Your Roof

A roof repair service is not particularly harmful, but depending on the condition of your roof, it may not be the best option for you. One crucial point to remember is that when you repair your roof, you are not able to see the extent of damage, especially on the underlayment and sheathing, causing you to miss some troublesome areas. Most times, frequent repairs end up being extremely costly in the long run, which is why a replacement roof is a more cost-effective option.
