Do I Need a Roof Repair or Roof Replacement?

When your roof shows damage, you may not know the actual severity of it. You may be wondering what is best for your roof: a roof repair or a roof replacement? Colby Morton Roofing and Gutters is here to help you. Here are some things to consider on whether to repair or replace your roof:

• Roof Age: If your roof is fairly new from the last couple of years and has storm damage or is leaking, then a roof repair would be your best bet. But if your roof is older or is the original roof on an older house, it may be time for a roof replacement. Doing multiple roof repairs on an old roof as time progresses is not only frustrating but costly.
• Type of Damage: Aesthetic roof damage would only warrant a roof repair. Serious structural damage on a roof would warrant a roof replacement. Our roof installation contractors can assess the condition of your roof and move forward with the roof repair or replacement that is needed.
• Shingles Missing: If you only have a few shingles missing or less than half, a roof repair is the way to go. No need for a roof replacement when it will take much less time to repair it. Damaged, torn, or missing asphalt shingles, for example, can usually be replaced with new ones fairly easily.

Why You Should Hire a Professional for Roof Repairs

There are many reasons as to why it is beneficial to hire a professional to perform roof repairs, rather than doing it on your own. You need to factor in the cost of materials, the time required to complete the project, and much more. Here is why you should reach out to a roofing company for your roof repairs:

• Cost of materials: When you hire a professional to perform roof repairs, you are in some way paying for the materials as you would if you took on the project yourself. The difference is, you are most likely going to make mistakes along the way, ending up in wasted materials and the need to buy more!
• Experience: Watching a video online does not equate to having years of professional roof repair experience. When you hire a professional for your roof repairs, you are hiring someone who has done this before, often many times! This means they have seen it all and are better equipped to handle problems that come up.
• Time: You are a busy person, already having your own job and life to worry about. Dedicating the short amount of time you have free to performing roof repairs can lead to many mistakes being made. You may feel rushed, you may be tired, or not feeling up to the task. This can cause you to lose focus and potentially put yourself in a dangerous position!
