The 3 Rs of Roofing – Repair, Restore, and Replacement

THE 3 RS OF ROOFING – REPAIR, RESTORE, AND REPLACEMENT

WHEN IS ROOF REPAIR THE RIGHT OPTION?



PART ONEWHEN IS ROOF REPAIR THE

RIGHT OPTION?

No roof lasts forever. While roof failure is inevitable, what with exposure to harsh elements a constant, this doesn’t mean that you’re going to have to simply wait for the end to come for your roof. Instead, you should look into extending your roof’s lifespan, which you can achieve through three ways: repair, restore, and replacement. Understanding what each has to offer will help you determine which roofing job is right for you, resulting in

the best outcomes for your roof.



Roof Repair: When to Do ItRoof repair is your best bet in the following situations:

1. Only minor signs of roofing problems are present and they are small enough to not affect your roof’s appearance.

2. There’s not enough time for a restoration or replacement, like if you have a tight schedule and won’t be able to supervise a restoration or replacement .

3. A roofing problem must be addressed immediately, such as when bad weather is a threat.

Roof Repair RemindersCommon repair procedures include minor leak repair and replacing missing shingles and damaged flashing. These are highly accessible but you still need to take some things into consideration before you schedule roof repair, like:

1. The problem. Just what kind of roofing problem you’re looking at will determine the kind of fix your roof will need.

2. The state of your roof. Roof repair can be a cost-effective solution but only if your roof is still in relatively proper shape. Sometimes, the best it can do is offer a temporary remedy until you are ready for a roof restoration or replacement.



Not sure if you should call a professional?

Roofers have the skills, knowledge, and experience necessary to provide your roof with not only the right kind of repair but one that is of high quality as well to help you squeeze out more years from your roof. Their expertise also makes it possible for them to carry out repairs swiftly, keeping any inconvenience to you at a minimum.

Minor roof problems may be negligible at first, but addressing them through roof repairs are important if you want to avoid spending big on more extensive restoration or replacement projects later on.

ROOF REPAIR IS HANDY, BUT WHAT IF YOU NEED MORE? JOIN US IN PART 2 AS WE DISCUSS ROOF

RESTORATION.



PART TWORESTORATION - GIVING YOUR

ROOF ANOTHER CHANCE

Roof restoration finds a firm middle ground between affordable roof repairs and the more expensive, but more drastic total roof replacement. By keeping a huge part of the roof intact, roof restoration is meant to bring your current roof back to its original state (or

sometimes even better).


RESTORATION - GIVING YOUR ROOF ANOTHER CHANCE

When is a roof restoration ideal?Roof restoration works best when done at the right time, so consider this option during the following situations:

1. Your roof is nearly at the end of its expected lifespan, but there’s very little (if any) signs of damage.

2. There are signs of moderate wear and tear, but most of the roof is still intact.

3. There’s not enough in your budget for a total roof replacement, but you can more comfortably spend for a smaller-scale restoration.

Done right, a restoration can easily add more than 10 years to your roof’s lifespan.

Some ConsiderationsLike in roof repairs, there are a few things you have to be aware of when it comes to roof restoration. Paying attention to these factors can be the difference between cost-effective restoration and something that could have been better off with roof replacement.


RESTORATION - GIVING YOUR ROOF ANOTHER CHANCE

1. Roof restoration almost always requires that you use the same type of material. Using different materials can affect the overall appearance of your roof.

2. For better consistency in terms of quality, all restorations should be performed by the same roofing expert.

3. Make sure that each restoration is covered by a service warranty to avoid spending extra on possible problems caused by faulty restoration.

Just like roof repair, restoration is best left in the hands of a professional. There is indeed satisfaction in carrying out your own roofing jobs but if you want the best results, you’re going to enlist the aid of a roofing expert. And don’t your roof, and ultimately your home, deserve the best?

AS THE MIDDLE GROUND BETWEEN REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT, RESTORATION IS A GREAT WAY TO ADDRESS ROOFING ISSUES MORE COST-EFFECTIVELY. DEALING WITH SEVERE ROOFING DAMAGE? IT MAY BE TIME FOR A FRESH START WITH A ROOF

REPLACEMENT. MORE ON THAT IN PART 3!



PART THREETOTAL ROOF REPLACEMENT -

A FRESH START

Roof replacement is mostly considered a last resort for homes with very old or damaged roofs, but getting a new roof for your home doesn’t always have to be done because of severe wear and tear. In fact, some roof replacements are done even with most of the

roof still intact.


TOTAL ROOF REPLACEMENT - A FRESH START

The Best Time for a Roof Replacement

Total roof replacement gets rid of roof problems as it literally puts a fresh new roof over your home. It is best for the following situations:

See the third item on the list? This may seem like a rather pointless expenditure for many but it is a very valid concern for some. If your old roof simply won’t do, it cannot be fixed by any amount of repair or restoration, prompting you to consider a replacement instead.

1. Your roof is way too deteriorated to be repaired, and restoration will involve almost every part of your old roof.

2. The roof is not functioning as intended, perhaps due to bad design, faulty installation, or wrong choice of materials.

3. You want a new look for your home.


TOTAL ROOF REPLACEMENT - A FRESH START

Want a roof replacement but worried about the cost?

Don’t be! Aside from getting your money’s worth, working with a reputable roofing contractor also opens up payment options you can take advantage of. Even when you don’t have to worry about working with a budget, checking out available payment options will help you better plan your roof replacement, factoring in what you can comfortably spend.

Roof replacement is a significant investment so it’s not unusual for some homeowners to balk at the initial cost of the roofing job. However, time and again, it has proven to be a cost-effective option in the long run. You just have to make sure that you’re working with a reputable roofing contractor to assure that your roof will be properly installed.
