You know how important it is to have a roof you can depend on. It is there to protect you and your family. Over time, every roof will need some attention. Understanding when you need a roof repair, replacement, or patching is important.
General Warning Signs For Roof Repair, Replacement, or Patching
Pay attention to the warning signs. They will help you decide if your roof needs to be repaired, patched, or replaced.
- Curled, cracked, or missing shingles
- Algae or moss can discolor the surface.
- Rot
- Shingle granules on gutters
- Attic sunlight visible
- Roof leaks
- Sagging roof
The age of the roof can also be a factor. Roofs that are 20 years old or older may need to be repaired or replaced, depending on the type of roof and shingles.
When to repair or patch your roof
It’s inevitable that every roof will need to be replaced. It’s sometimes possible to patch or repair it. There’s no reason to replace your entire roof if there is only minor damage or only a small part of it has been damaged. Wind can also cause shingles to be damaged by a fallen branch. It is a good idea to fix the roof, as it’s relatively inexpensive and easy. It may be possible to patch your roof even if it is leaking. As long as the leak is isolated.
Roof Replacement: When Should You Replace Your Roof?
Age is the main reason for roof replacement. It’s obvious that you need to replace your roof if there are many missing shingles or shingle debris in the gutters. Your shingles are curling or discolored at the edges. This is a sure sign that your roof has declined. A sagging or drooping roof is the most concerning as it indicates a structural problem.
A roof that is well-maintained and in good shape will protect you and your family from hail, wind, and rain. Call KM Roof and Home Repair now.
