No matter the age of your home, your type of roof or the number of times you’ve serviced your roof, it’s still important to know whether your roof needs repair work, patching work, or complete replacement as situation demands.
The best way to determine whether your roof requires any of these things is to have a trained professional evaluate the condition of your roof and make suggestions. At Plusworld Roofing, we offer such services.
Kowing whether a roof needs repair, patching, or a replacement can be tricky.
In a bid to help you know the most suitable option, we have curated a list to provide you with hands-on solution if you ever find yourself in such situation.
1. If your roof is leaking and there is a whole section of missing shingles, it’s probably time for a replacement.
2. If the layer of tar that covers the surface of the roof near the wet spot looks cracked and discolored, it may be time for a patch job.
3. If there are any holes in the roof surface, especially in areas around flashing and vents and the hole looks big enough for an adult arm to fit through, you’ll definitely want to get a new roof—fast!
4. If you see cracks that are spidered out from the original hole (and all of those cracks are large enough for you to fit more than your pinkie finger into), this is an indication that the problems in that area go deeper than just patches. The best thing to do in this situation is to call in an expert to give you a full assessment of your roof’s condition.
6. If your roof is missing shingles or has torn-off pieces, then you should consider replacing it.
Patching of roofs cost less than the full replacement of your roof. The patching is often an easier, faster fix than a full replacement of your roof. You have damages that can be patched without having to replace the entire thing. So, it is highly nessecary and essential to get hire a vast, skilled and professional roofing contractor to render quality services when in need of a roof fix.
