Roof Repairs vs. Roof Replacement – Making the Right Choice
We understand that a roof replacement is a large investment. Even if you have been getting by just making repairs, roof repairs are not a solid solution compared to a roof replacement.Every time you call in for roof repair, that’s money you know you’ll need to spend again later, as roof repairs only last so long against a total replacement.
If your roof is under ten years old, and you are finding you are spending a lot of time worrying about roofing repairs, it may be you received an improper roof installation the first time. Although you may feel like your roof is young, if it’s costing you money in repairs now, a new roof replacement may be needed to correct any issues that occurred during a bad installation.
If your roof is closer to twenty years old, it’s probably time to consider a roof replacement. There is only so long you can put off a roof replacement with an aged roof, and the longer you wait, the worse it can get.
