Roof Repair or Roof Replacement?

Has your roof started shedding shingles? Have you spotted the number-one sign of failure -- leaks and water spots on your ceilings?


If your answer is yes, don't be worried; there are lots of people in the same boat as you. I've been in the roofing industry long enough to field questions about these problems from hundreds of homeowners.


The right solution will depend on your specific situation. Take heart, though: Most damaged roofs can be repaired! But there are some times when a roof replacement is the only smart choice.


How do you know the difference between a "repair" problem and a "replace" problem? Don't worry! We're here to help guide you! Read on for expert advice on the difference between the two situations.


Key Factors In The Repair Vs. Replace Decision


Certain over-arching factors affect the decision between repairing or replacing. For example, you need to know the age of your current roof and have an idea of how long you intend to stay in your home before making your choice. The material used  -- the most common being asphalt shingles -- also plays a large role in deciding when the time is right for a replacement. 


Don't know your roofs age? Don't worry; an experienced roofer can provide you with an accurate estimate of its age.


Even the cheapest three-tab shingles should last 15 or even 20 years when properly installed. More expensive "architectural" shingles are designed to resist winds of up to 130 MPH and can easily last up to 40 years.


Common signs of a failing roofing system include:


* Curling or buckling shingles

* Loss of granules

* Granules in your gutters

* Missing shingles

* Sagging in the decking

* Visible blisters in your shingles


Always get a second opinion before making any commitments; get at least two roofing companies to give you a estimate. I've met a lot of lucky homeowners who asked me to confirm a "replacement" assessment that turned out to be fraudulent. Some roofers are out to sell you a new one regardless of your current roof's condition.


How Future Plans Affect Your Roof Decision


If your current house isn't your "forever home," a replacement may not be the right decision even if it's nearing the end of its life. But on the other hand, if you know you're going to try to sell your current home soon, the condition of its roof could have a major impact on its appeal to buyers.


If you're living in a home you plan to keep permanently and your current one is more than 15 years old, any warning signs you spot warrant an inspection by a professional roofer. Let the expert tell you if you have any specific trouble spots. If there's nothing seriously wrong, it's still a good idea to sign up for an inspection and maintenance plan. Having a professional come out at least once a year will go a long way toward catching problems before they get serious. A regular maintenance plan will extend your roofs life.


If you know you're going to sell your home soon and your roof is heavily damaged, be aware that problems will drive off buyers and reduce the buying prices offered to you. Full roof replacement is often the best course of action when you're looking to sell. A new one gives your house significant curb appeal. On average, at least 68% of the cost of a full replacement comes back to you when you sell your home.


Repair: The Benefits


* Repair Is Cheaper Than Replacement


As common sense would suggest, repairing the existing one is a lot cheaper than replacing it. Individual components in your roofing system can (and do!) fail long before the entire system is worn out.


* Repairs Extend Your Roof's Lifespan


Anytime you have a roofer out to give you an inspection, ask him about the most cost-effective repair work that can be done. Every repair you make can extend your roofs life. DIY Roof Repair


Repair: The Drawbacks


* Shingle Matching Is A Pain


It's inevitable; shingles change color over time thanks to the sun and the weather. That makes it difficult to match brand-new shingles with weathered ones. It may not be possible to match replacement shingles to the ones already in place, leading to a patchy appearance -- and a negative impact to your home's curb appeal if you want to sell it.


DIY Roof Repair

Getting your roof repaired is cheaper than getting it replaced. But it can still be outside of some peoples budget, especially around the holidays. So you may be considering a DIY roof repair. This will save you money and can save you time from finding a company to do the repair. But it is not recommended because if not done correctly it can end up costing you more in the long run. It can also be dangerous due to climbing on your roof. Check out our blog about DIY Roof Repair to learn more. If your looking to replace your own roof check out our blog on DIY Roof Replacement.

  • How much damage can a roof leak cause?

    Depending on where you live and what time of the year it is, a roof leak can cause serious damage to the interior of your home. Where the leak is located  on your home can also make a significant difference. If it is an area that water is able to puddle or water is able to flow into(behind pipe boot flashing, chimney flashing) then it needs to be fixed as soon as possible. The best thing you can do is get a roofing company out to your home as soon as you notice the leak. They can assess the roof leak and give you a professional opinion. Most of the time the roof can be repaired.


  • Why Is My Roof Leaking?

    There are a number of reasons why your roof is leaking. Your roof might have a shingle or two that blew off in a storm. This will leave that area of your roof exosed to the elements. Allowing water to penatrate your roof. 

    Another common cause of a roof leak is if flashing wasn't installed properly than water maybe able to penatrate those areas.

     If pipe boot flashing( the pipes that exit through your roof) was not instaled properly this will cause your roof to leak. Pipe boot flashing runs under the shingles that are higher on the slope than it and lays on top of the shingles that are further down the slope. If not installed properly this may allow water to penatrate the pipe boot flashing. 

    If you find your roof is leaking during the winter. This may be caused by ice damming or snow build up. During the summer your roof is beaten with the sun, but this actually heats up the sealing strips on the shingles and allows them to seal to each other. During the winter your roof is much colder and this may cause some shingles to unseal and potentially let ice or snow slowly make its way in.

This company came out and painted the exterior of my house this past July. The price was what I was expecting to pay. The quality of work was far above par. They pressure washed, scraped, caulked, sprayed and back-rolled the paint into the wood and then brushed it into the nooks and crevices. My cedar siding looks completely refreshed, renewed, and protected. They took their time. I'm kind of a nag. I'll call a company back to fix a job if its not right. I did not find one pinhole that they missed.

Dustin and his team were extremely professional, time efficient, and did great work! They were able to provide me an estimate quickly and get the work started and finished within a week. Additionally, Dustin provided us with advice on other projects around the house and was extremely generous, offering time and services beyond you would expect (helping remove large trash items from the home, sharing products, offering to lend us power washer). We are so glad we used Contemporary and will 100% hire them again!
