Roof replacement can be daunting. You may be wondering if a leak you are experiencing warrants a simple patch of an area of your roof or an overhaul or replacement of the entire structure. Are you on the fence about your roof replacement? Here are a few examples of both fixes to consider for these types of roof concerns. 

Patch job 

A minor leak that will not compromise the integrity of your roof may be one of the reasons to consider a patch job. Shingles on your roof may be affected by elements such as wind and rain or even snow storms.

These may cause leaks throughout the seasons. Keep in mind small animal activity may threaten those same shingles, but when caught early, designate just quick attention. A few damaged shingles may need to be only quickly repaired and can be quite a bit more economical and less time-consuming than a complete roof tear-off.  

Complete replacement 

A complete replacement of your roof is necessary when the leaks are in multiple places. These areas can weaken any beams through mold and other types of rotting and cause parts of your roof to fall.

You could be in trouble of an overall cave-in, in this case, which could result in further damage to other areas of your dwelling. Not to mention, injuries to people or animals inside could be a serious concern if a rotted or falling roof is what you may be dealing with. 

Another reason to consider an entire roof replacement may be based upon a recommendation after inspection by your local roof repair experts. If the structural quality isn’t sound, it may lessen the life span of the roof that you had put in initially. In order to avoid further damage and a much more costly repair to not only your roof, but your house entirely, you may need to consult your roof repair specialists for a roof replacement. 

Roof leaks do not have to be a homeowner’s nightmare. Some can be fixed with easy remedies. Others leaks may prove more detrimental and will take consideration to replace your entire roof. Be sure to contact our local roof specialists for the best choice for your situation.  You will be in the best hands for the most effective and budget-friendly situations to put your worries at ease!
