If your roof has been damaged but is still in good shape overall, repairing it may be more budget-friendly than replacement. There are some factors to consider when deciding whether roof repairs are the right course of action to preserve your home’s integrity.
- Consider the overall age of the roof. If you have a newer roof that has sustained damage in one area only, it probably doesn’t make sense to replace the whole roof. Our professional staff at Aztec Roofs can evaluate and repair damages if appropriate. Doing this quickly after damage has occurred ensures no further problems arise.
- Consider the placement of the damage. It can be difficult to match colors when replacing shingles, as the originals have been exposed to the elements. If the damage is in a hidden area, repairs can be done discreetly and will weather to match in time.
- Consider the materials used. For some types of materials, roof repairs can simply mean replacing damaged tiles or slates. If the moisture barrier is sound and the deck isn’t exposed, this can be a cost-effective fix.
- Consider the forecast. If a storm is predicted, it is a good idea to get roof repairs immediately. They can usually be done quickly and with minimal labor and can save your house from damage to the roof structure itself.
The bottom line is that allowing damage to go unrepaired can be costly in the long run. Give us a call at Aztec Roofs, and one of our reputable professionals can assist you in determining the best course of action to ensure your safety and your home’s value.
