Another frequently asked question by homeowners is if there’s a chance to just make some roof repairs instead of a full roof replacement. The answer lies in whether you have been good at regular maintenance of your roof or not and how much severe weather has your roof endured.
Roofing Advice
“The best way to know if a full roof replacement is needed is by calling an expert that will evaluate the underlayment and decking of your home to make sure it is still in proper shape”.

When a roof repair is enough
A repair is possible when there are only a few shingles to replace or the percentage of the total roof surface that is still functional is high.
However, the best way to know if a full roof replacement is needed is by calling an expert that will evaluate the underlayment and decking of your home to make sure it is still in proper shape. If the roofer determines that the damage is too big, the best option is a full roof replacement.
- Shingles that are curling
- Severe weather damage like wind and hail
- Sagging roof, which could be very serious
- Water leakage, which can spread to other parts of the house and is detrimental to your family's health.
Take into consideration that if your roof is 20 years or older, it is probably that it is nearing the end of its lifespan and needs a full roof replacement. Make sure you get quality shingles that are made to last you a long time but also, make sure you give your new roof the attention it needs so it can last you for decades.
