How to Tell If Your Roof Needs Repairs or a Replacement

Larry Walty II • April 2, 2020

The roofing system is an important part of every home as it is the building’s first line of defense against the elements. When it sustains any form of damage, however, it can be a bit difficult to tell if you need a roof repair or replacement services. Thankfully, there are a few signs that can help you determine which procedure you need, such as:

Leaks

If your roof is leaking and you’re trying to determine if your roof is in need of repairs or replacement, contact a professional to come and inspect your roof. If they see that the leaks are focused on one spot, then a simple patch job should suffice. However, if it’s found that the leaks are widespread, then be sure to have the roof replaced instead.

Age

Alternatively, you can also take the age of your roof as a cue on whether you should have the system repaired or replaced. If the roof was damaged but it was recently installed, then a repair should solve your problems and bring the roof back to working condition. On the other hand, if it’s clear that your roof is more than 20 years old, then it’s best that you replace it as it’s approaching the end of its lifespan and a replacement is better in the long run.

To replace your old roofing system, look no further than the residential and commercial roofing contractors of Larry Walty Roofing for assistance.

How Long You Intend to Stay

The length of your stay in your current home can also help you decide if you should repair or replace your roof. This is because according to professionals if you plan on staying in your home for a while and the system is still in good condition, you can opt for repairs to restore it. If you have plans of selling your home, meanwhile, and you want to get the most out of it, then it’s best that you have it replaced instead to increase your property values.
