Barnett Roofing

All professional roofing contractors are equipped with handling roof repair and replacement requests. But how will you know as a home owner which route to take? Replacing your roof too soon is a waste of money while waiting too long is risking more serious problems. There is no hard and fast rule when it comes to deciding, however there are several factors that you should consider. Here are some of them.

1. Age of Your Roof: Every roofing system comes with an expected lifespan. For example, most asphalt shingles have a long service life of 15 to 30 years. If a portion of your roof is damaged due to varying weather elements but most of it is still in top condition, patching it up with a quick repair may be reasonable. But if your roof is approaching the end of its 20-year mark, then replacing it may be the better option.

2. Roof Leaks: A roof leak is one of the most common roofing issues faced by roof repair experts. An inspection visit will help you determine how widespread the leak is. If the case is isolated and coming from a singular area, then a repair may be necessary. If the leak is in several places, then you should definitely consider replacing your roof.

3. Energy Efficiency: If you decide to take on the green perspective and incorporate eco-friendly and energy efficient features into your home, then replacing your outdated roof will make sense. In addition, modern roofing materials have significantly upgraded. They are proven to perform better and last longer than traditional choices. They also use less energy from fossil fuels.
