WARNING SIGNS
There are several warning signs to look out for that help you determine whether you need roofing services. They will help you determine whether you need to repair, patch, or replace your roof:
Curling or missing shingles
Moss or algae on the roof
Shingle granules in your gutters
Visible sunlight through your attic
Leaks
If you’re experiencing any of these issues, it’s vital to get a roofing expert out to look at your roof as soon as possible! They’ll be able to provide you with a diagnosis of the issue and a repair plan.
WHEN TO REPAIR OR PATCH YOUR ROOF
Every roof eventually needs to be replaced, but it is possible to extend its life through patching and repairs! If there’s only minor damage to your roof or your roof is only damaged in one spot, there’s no need to replace the whole roof. For example, a fallen branch may have only damaged a corner of the roof, and we can patch that area for a relatively low cost. Even if your roof is leaking, it may be possible to repair it! The only way to know whether you can have your roof repaired is to get it looked at by an expert roofing company.
Tear Off or Roof Over?
In some instances, if you need a new roof, you can install the new roof over your old one. This works well if you’re installing a metal roof over asphalt shingles, but if you’re putting on two layers of asphalt shingles, it can end up costing you in the long run. Two layers of shingles add additional weight and stress to your roof. Shingles will also hold better if fastened directly onto the roof deck rather than to another layer of shingles — which is important in windy areas like the Front Range and Southern Wyoming! While a new roof is a big expense and removing the previous roof adds to the costs, it’s one less thing to worry about in the long run.
