Replace Or Repair Your Roof?
Many homeowners are quick to assume they need a new roof after spotting a leak in the ceiling. Leaks can occur for a variety of reasons. But, there are numerous factors that determine whether roof repair will solve the issue or if your home requires a full roof replacement. First and foremost, trust the professionals. A roof is not a simple job; it requires experience and a keen eye. Don’t let anyone pull the wool over your eyes. Be familiar with roof repairs and roof replacements before hiring a contractor of any kind.
Roof Repair
For many roofing jobs, simple repairs are more than enough to solve a variety of issues. For instance, if your roof is newly-installed and a bad storm damaged the shingles, it doesn’t make sense to replace the roof. It’s an unnecessary cost. Roof repairs, in this situation, will rectify the problem immediately while maintaining the overall quality of the roof.
Furthermore, you’ll want to consider value. If it will only cost you a few hundred dollars to repair your roof, you don’t want to spend thousands on a replacement and add a claim to your insurance policy.
Roof Replacement
On the other end of the spectrum are roof replacements. Savvy homeowners opt for a full replacement if they know their roof has seen better days. If your home’s roof is relatively old, a roof replacement might be beneficial.
If you’re regularly paying for roof repairs, it might be more financially sound to invest in a new roof sooner rather than later. If you’ve already performed repairs, roof replacement may be your best bet.
Picking a Roofing Contractor
With hundreds of roofing companies in the Dallas and Houston area, it is difficult to know what company to trust. First and foremost, pick a company that has substantial roots in your community. This includes having an actual office you can visit. Next, check with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) to make sure they have a history in the area and no major unresolved complaints. Finally, don’t hesitate to ask about the ownership and project manager that will be overseeing your repair or new roof.
