Repair Vs. Replacement
We offer roof repair services and are always available to diagnose your roof issues. Although, in some situations repairs can be the wrong option in the long run for a homeowner. It is best to have us inspect the condition of the roof in its entirety before repairs are performed. Full roof replacement will end up saving the homeowner hundreds, even thousands of dollars in the long run.

If you think you’ll be living in your home for years to come, a new roof is a worthwhile investment. But, if you are planning to sell the house in the next five years or so, it may make more sense financially to repair the roof instead.
Besides that, the new buyer may want to pick the roof color and materials themselves, so installing a new roof might even end up working against you.

When you patch and repair your roof the new shingles will not match the older, more weathered ones. If this look bothers you, you should replace the roof instead of repairing it.

Is there moisture or water damage involved?

When water or moisture is introduced to a roof that is in poor condition, the built-up water is liable to seep into the underside and supports of your roof, weakening them in the process. If this is the case, shingling over the roof won’t do you any favors - you’ll be needing a full roof replacement to remedy a situation like this.
