Roof Repair & Replacement
A roof can start to leak at any moment, especially if the roof is fifteen years or older. Replacing a roof could be costly and not always necessary to do, which is why choosing the right roofing company is extremely important. If you discover that your roof leaks when it rains, it may or may not mean that you need a new roof. A repair may be all that your roof needs. But if the shingles have deteriorated, cracked or blistered then more than likely it may be time for a new roof. An experienced company will know whether the roof should be replaced or repaired. The difference in replacing and repair is a huge cost difference.
Shingles life span vary but in Texas heat, storm damage, inadequate ventilation, foundation issues or improper installation, your home’s roofing system, with occasional maintenance should last its warranty period of 20 to 30 years or more. On the other hand if your roof is about 5 years old and is leaking, it could possibly be cause by poor installation and a repair would be all that is needed. If a leak occurs it is most likely to be around flashing, furnace stacks, plumbing vents, valleys, chimneys, skylights or even missing shingles. All of these types of leaks can be repaired without replacing the entire roof. If the roof is older then matching the style and color of the existing roof can be difficult but if it is less than 15 years old a close match is possible.
