Below are some exterior and interior items you can look for that might be tell-tale signs of whether you’re in need of roof repairs or re-roof replacement.
If you see paint chipping, stains on the ceiling or any discoloration, these are all signs of roof failure. Fortunately, drywall damage and roof repairs can be completed at a fraction of the price of an entire new roof system.
However, if there is 30-50% overall damage and your roof is between 15-20 years old then replacing it might be the most cost effective approach.
If you find interior water stains or any active leaks during moderate to heavy rain storms, schedule an inspection. We can isolate where the water intrusion is entering and complete roof leak repairs as needed.
Roof replacement is recommended in the event that the existing shingles are too brittle and visible signs of wood rot decay are found in multiple areas.
Finding moss, mold, mildew and surface stains are signs of an aging roof system. Typically when a roof system turns 10 years of age is when signs of fungus growth usually begin to form due to moisture.
You will begin to notice areas that don’t get as much direct sunlight throughout the day tend to age more quickly than other areas of your roof that do. It is highly recommended to complete roof pressure wash cleaning approximately every 10 years to avoid excessive damages cause by lichen fungi.
Fungi will slowly eat away at asphalt shingles, cedar shakes, underlayment, and commercial flat roof systems. If excessive fungi damages have been found, immediate repairs and/or partial roof replacement is recommended.
Re-Roof replacement will be needed if there is over 30-50% fungi growth and roof damages.
Usually, most roofs can last up to 20-25 years if maintained properly. Roof repairs and roof maintenance is recommended every 5-10 years as shingles, flashings, sealants, underlayment, roof penetrations and fasteners will begin to breakdown naturally.
Regular ongoing roof inspections should be completed every 5-10 years to avoid costly interior damages and to take a more proactive vs. reactive approach.
Re-roof replacement is recommended when the repair costs equal approximately 50% of what a new roof would cost to install and the existing roof is approaching the 15-20 year mark.
Replace your roof if more than 30-50% of the roof is damaged. If your roof is between 15-20 years old, and the cost to repair equals close to a new roof system.
