Residential & Commercial Roofing Contractors
Every year, many homeowners and business owners find themselves asking this question: To repair or to do a whole new roof replacement? The answer depends on the type of damage your roof currently has. This is the main reason why our local roofers need to visit your home or business in person before giving you an accurate quote. When it comes to roofing, sometimes it is easy to find the issue. Other times, though, leak detection can be a whole task of its own. If you can relate, read the rest of the article below to receive a better understanding of what type of service you may need.
TAKE IT FROM A PROFESSIONAL
You might be surprised at the number of homeowners we run into who need an entire roof replacement because the original roof installers did the job incorrectly. Receiving roofing advice from an amateur can lead to problems down the road, resulting in one of the most expensive home renovation jobs possible. Mass-Tech Roofing and Building Co. is certified by CertainTeed as top local roofers for both residential homes and commercial properties. You can trust our professionals to do the job right the first time.
DO YOU NEED A TEMPORARY FIX OR A PERMANENT SOLUTION?
As your roof ages, the materials around it begin to deteriorate. You will eventually have to replace your roof. In many cases, for a roof that is still in good condition, you make one-off patches to temporarily fix various problems. However, if the same problem keeps showing up, often the best option is to do an entire roof replacement with our local roofers.
HOW OLD IS YOUR ROOF?
Time and Mother Nature take a toll on your roof. If the roof is old enough, no matter how many repairs you do and patches you apply, the underlying foundation of the roof weakens. Eventually it will come time for a new roof. Even though replacing your roof may not rank at the top of your list of desired home renovations, leaving it for later will eventually lead to more problems and more costs.
ROOF REPAIR HISTORY
If your roof went through repairs in the past, it might be better to have a new roof installed, even if your current problem would normally be a repair issue. Again, repairs are cheaper than replacements, but repeated repairs will eventually become more costly. We will be able to properly assess your roof’s repair history and then determine whether a new roof is the best option.
COST OF REPAIRS
Depending on the current state of your roof, it may cost more to repair than to implement a new roofing system. For example, if your roof repair involves removing panels or shingles to fix a certain problem in your roofing deck, the labor involved in such a repair might actually cost more than replacement. The cost of purchasing materials for repair may actually make it just as expensive as buying new materials.
As mentioned earlier, each roof will need replacement eventually. Many homeowners wrestle with this decision. Needing a new roof may be obvious in some situations and not so obvious in others. Before making any repairs or roof replacements, be sure to consider the tips we provide and always take the advice of certified, professional local roofers over non-accredited companies.
Repair My Leaky Old Roof or Buy a New One?
The lifespan of a roof depends on the quality of its shingles and your climate. A typical roof will last anywhere from 15 to 35 years. If you stay in your home for the long term, you can expect to replace your roof a few times in your life.
SAGGING DECK
The deck is the insulated layer found between your roof’s shingles and the plywood nailed to joists. Over time, shingles deteriorate and water begins to seep in and saturate your deck resulting in a sagging inward curve. There will be a bulge in your ceiling and this means it is only a matter of time before water begins to drain into your home.
INTERNAL WATER DAMAGE
As time passes, all homes are likely to have leaks somewhere which lead to unsightly brown spots on your ceiling. In our years of experience, it’s a good rule of thumb to treat anything to do with water as emergency. If the leak is bad enough, roof replacements may actually be cheaper than roof repair. Leaks can get behind walls and even below your floors, spreading damage all around your home if you let it. Should you ever see brown spots on your ceiling, there is a strong possibility of it leaking at other parts of your house as well.
MOLDS
Molds are a common problem for roofing with leaks, especially if the leaks reach the drywall. Molds can cause serious problems to your home and your health. It will also make it more difficult to sell your home until a roofing company properly addresses the problem.
WATER DAMS
A roof should always be sloped in such a way that allows water to run off of it and never create a damn. Clogged drains and botched roof installations commonly causes water to be stored in unwanted places. If you choose to avoid fixing the problem, the shingles will begin to wear out unevenly and create even larger pools of water. This is usually a gutter problem as opposed to roofing one.
WORN OR DAMAGED SHINGLES
Asphalt Shingles have different stages of deterioration. In the initial stage, they will be shedding, granules which lead to clogged gutters. At the end of the final stage, they will have curled and buckled. Shingles that have shed out granules can still keep water out but once they buckle, leaks will begin to appear.
You will need to decide if to repair or replace your roof. You’ll have to decide between the two on your own but if your roof shows signs of at least 2 of the mentioned problems, it may be better to get your home exterior replaced. Consult us at anytime for a better advice and an inspection of your roof.
