Introduction
Repairing or Replacing Roof
All roofs need repair or replacement from time to time. Regular maintenance such as cleaning eavestroughs and drains can help prolong the life of your roof. Periodic roof inspections will help you spot developing problems before they cause costly damage to your home. The extent of the problem and age of the roof are key factors that can help you decide whether to do repairs or completely replace the roof finish.
Roofing comes in various materials, qualities and price ranges. Ongoing maintenance, suitable for the specific roof and material, is important and contributes to how the roof performs, when it needs repairs and when it needs replacement.
When you make decisions about roof work, there are many things to consider:
- Repair or replacement — The roof may have localized damage such as a few missing shingles, have widespread damage or have exceeded the life expectancy of the product.
- Structural problems — The roof may appear to sag in some areas because of insufficient strength or deterioration of framing or sheathing.
- Ice damming — There may be damage to the roofing material and structure due to build-up of ice during the winter.
- Flashing — Leaks may occur at the flashing.
- Roofing material — The roofing material may fail due to poor installation or may not be the proper type for the specific application.
- Safety and regulations — The extent of the project may require special equipment and training that should only be done by professionals. Working on roofs is dangerous and requires strict safety precautions..
