Should I Repair or Replace a Roof?
You notice some missing shingles after a bad storm and the roof inspection shows you have some damage. Now what? Should you repair or replace the roof?
Our first recommendation is to always have a professional inspection done from a trusted local roofing company such as Phoenix Roofing in Columbia, South Carolina.
Once the inspection shows that damage is done, the roofing company can help you decide if an isolated repair or full replacement is needed. The input of your insurance company will also be helpful to take into account. However here are some pros and cons of repair vs. replacement.
Repair or Replace?
– Consider the age of your roof. If your roof is over 15 years old it will be close to needing a replacement and this might be the right time.
– Look at the extent of the damage. Is the issue isolated to just one area or spread over the whole roof?
– Is the roof sagging or failing to hold up the weight of the structure? This type of damage typically warrants a full replacement.
– Are the materials available to match your current roof and will it affect the curb appeal of your home if the repair is obvious?
Of course there are many factors to consider including what type of homeowners insurance policy you have. The cost of replacing a roof will be considerably higher than repairing. However if you plan to be in the home for a while it may be the right type of investment.
