Have questions about whether roofing services are right for you? No problem. Below, we review some of the most frequently asked questions about roofing services.
Q: When do I need a roof replacement?
A: It depends. We encourage homeowners to have our experts inspect their roof at least twice each year and always after a storm. In the meantime, here are several trigger signs that indicate a roof replacement may be required:
- If the roof is between 20 and 30 years old
- If asphalt shingles are damaged, cracked or bending
- If shingles are missing in their entirety
- If you notice mold formation, dry rot, and/or peeling paint
None of the above factors expressly mean a full roof replacement – just have a qualified expert examine the roof. We will be able to determine the best course of action on a case-by-case basis.
Q: My roofing problem appears minor. Can’t I repair it myself?
A: We urge homeowners not to repair roofing problems themselves. There are two main reasons for this:
- First, while the problem may – on the face of things – appear small, there could be a major underlying, structural issue at fault.
- Second, there are serious safety concerns about inspecting and/or performing roof repairs. That’s why our team has been trained to the very highest standards – not only professional roofing standards but also safety standards, too.
Q: What is the cost of roof repairs and a roof replacement?
A: This depends upon a wide variety of factors, including:
- The type, nature, and severity of the roof repair – or replacement – in question
- The type of roofing material you wish to use – some materials are cheap, others are considerably more expensive
Q: I’ve noticed my roof is starting to leak. What does this mean?
A: Identifying a leak could be an indication of one of two things. It may be self-limiting, in which case the leak has been identified before it spread and caused other damage throughout the home. Alternatively, the leak may be a symptom of a wider structural problem that has manifested in the roof. In either of these cases, a full roof replacement may not be required. You should contact our local experts to determine the cause of the problem and, from there, learn about what course of action can be taken to limit and/or deal with the problem in question.
