How Do I Know If My Roof Needs Repair or Replacement?
Knowing whether your roof needs repairs or a complete replacement can be difficult. Brad McCall Roofing provides guidance on how to assess the condition of your roof and make the right decision.
Signs That Your Roof Needs Repair
In many cases, minor issues with your roof can be repaired without needing a full replacement. Common signs that your roof may only need repairs include missing or damaged shingles, small leaks, and localized water damage. If you notice a few shingles that are cracked or curling, this can usually be addressed with a simple patch. Additionally, leaks around chimneys or vents are often repairable without replacing the entire roof.
At Brad McCall Roofing, our team conducts a comprehensive inspection to identify specific problem areas that can be repaired. Small repairs can extend the life of your roof and prevent more costly issues down the line. If your roof is still structurally sound but showing minor signs of wear, repairs may be all that’s needed to restore its functionality.
Signs That Your Roof Needs Replacement
In some situations, a roof is too damaged or aged to be effectively repaired. Signs that you may need a full roof replacement include widespread water damage, sagging, and significant granule loss from shingles. If your roof is over 20 years old and has extensive damage or multiple leaks, it may be more cost-effective to replace it rather than continue making repairs. Additionally, if you notice visible cracks or sagging in the roof decking, it could indicate structural issues that require a complete replacement.
At Brad McCall Roofing, our experienced team will help you determine whether repair or replacement is the best option. We will provide a detailed assessment, considering factors like the age of the roof, the extent of the damage, and your budget, to ensure that you make an informed decision.
