When a roofing problem such as a small leak or a broken shingle arises, it can be easily repaired. However, you may be in the position where you’re wasting money repairing these problems when your whole roof is in need of a replacement. Here are a couple things to consider when deciding if your Arvada roof just needs repairs or if it is in need of a replacement:
When your roof may need to be replaced:
- Roofing materials that have a warranty have expired
- If your roof is more than 20 years old depending on materials installed
- You’ve had to repair your roof a number of times in the past
- Leaks that you have repaired keep coming back
When your roof needs to be repaired:
- If your roof is less than 20 years old, it probably has some durability left in it and can be assessed for repairs
- Your roofing material’s warranty hasn’t expired
- The repair required is minor
- If this is the first time you’ve had to hire a contractor for repairs
Occasionally, there can be repairs that can cause major problems in the future, but aren’t visible. This is where routine roofing inspections are very important to keep up with. When you’re not sure if damage requires a Denver roof repair or a full replacement, make sure to call Arvada Roofing Company to accurately diagnose the problem.
