As the home’s first line of defense against the elements, the roof can be expected to sustain a significant amount of damage over time. Once this happens, you need to act quickly as your roof will be vulnerable to leaks and further damage if left unattended. However, whenever a roof sustains damage, some homeowners find it difficult to decide between getting it repaired and getting a roof replacement project done instead.
Here’s how you can decide between the two:
Try to Recall the Roof’s Age
When you’re trying to decide if you should have your roof repaired or replaced after it sustained some damage, experts recommend that you try to recall how old your roofing system is. If your roof is relatively new or is less than 20 years old, then a simple roof repair should do the trick. However, if your roof is 25 years old or older, it’s best that you have it replaced as this means your roof is approaching the end of its lifespan and frequent repairs can wind up costing you more money in the long run.
For assistance in repairing or replacing your roofing system, don’t hesitate to approach the experts of Roofer Chicks® to get the job done.
Check for Leaks
Alternatively, you can also have an expert roofer inspect your roof to see if it has leaks. If the leaks are centered in one area, then repairing the roof should suffice. However, if the leak is widespread, it’s best you have the roof replaced instead as this can result in wood rot in the roof and mold growth and spread throughout your home.
