Should You Repair or Replace Your Roof?

In the event your roofing system has sustained weather damage, you either have it repaired or replaced. But when does one solution make more sense than the other? Your decision may rely on a number of essential factors, including the extent of damage sustained by your roof. 

When to Invest in Roof Repair Work

Leaks usually indicate your roof has suffered a bit of weather damage. When left unattended, even the smallest leak can worsen and leave your home vulnerable to water damage. Damaged roofing materials and failed flashing are the most common cause of a leaking roof. However, this particular roofing problem isn’t serious enough to warrant a roof replacement. 

What you’ll need to do is call the premier roofing contractor in your area, AQ Roofing LLC. With our trained and experienced crew, we’ll trace the source of these leaks and perform the necessary repair work. Have you noticed broken shingles on the ground following a windstorm? Our professional crew will check the roof surface for exposed areas where the shingles used to be. If these bare patches are only missing a few shingles, they are simple enough to patch. However, should we discover serious damage to the roof underlayment and decking, then no amount of repair work would be able to fix it. This will need a permanent solution.

When to Choose a Roof Replacement

The roof decking and underlayment serve as an extra layer of protection against your home and the harsh elements. Most importantly, they help hold up the weight of your roofing system. Any damage to these components can compromise the safety and structural integrity of your home. This, along with the following signs, will require a full replacement:

  1. Obvious signs of moisture or water damage caused by massive leaks
  2. Roofing is already past its service life due to old and failing materials
  3. Severe storm damage caused by wind-blown debris, heavy rainfall or high winds, exposing the roof substrate to the elements
