Why Replacement Not Repair

Repairs arent long term. Replacement is lifetime protection.

REPAIR VS REPLACEMENT

Full Replacement typically makes more sense when compared to repair heres how:

Less costly over the long haul

Repairs do not last long. Typcially only for about 5 to 10 years. In the meanwhile excess water, debris, and rotting can occur underneath your shingle layer making for more costly repairs when replacement finally does come.

Looks more professional

Most of the time if you are repairing your rooftop by patch work you will get an un-uniform look. Even ordering shingles from the same manufactuer and color that you did previously can make for a slightly different shade.

Making repairs of your own can void any warranties on your products

Many homeowners opt for making repairs themselves but what some dont realize is that can void any warranty on the roof you purchased.

Repair work can lead to further deterioration

Getting up top of your roof can lead to further deterioration if repairs need to be made. Replacement keeps everything fresh right after install.

Why Replacement Makes Sense

LOOK FOR THESE FACTORS:
  • Multiple problem areas
  • Roof is over 20 years old
  • Widespread curling or granule loss

REPAIRS ARE QUICK FIXES NOT LONG-TERM SOLUTIONS

Repairs Cause More Leakage

Quick repairs are not ideal for long-term homeowners or resale value boosts. They lead to rapidly re-occuring problems and more costly repairs in the future.

Asphalt shingles last 20–30 years when installed correctly. Metal can last 60-80 years and provide proven performance without the higher long-term cost of repair.

BEST FOR:

  1. Budget-conscious projects long-term
  2. Traditional home styles with professional look
  3. Neighborhoods with HOA restrictions usually require professional installation

Replacements Provide Longevity

Replacement makes the most sense for homeowners who have a roof of 20 years or older in age. Your underlayer has suffered through the life of your old roof and with a new replacment that repair is required before fresh installs.

A fresh replacement will eliminate the hassle of costly over deteriation from constant repairs and sticking within warranty restrictions.

BEST FOR:

  1. Long-term investment
  2. Home value boost of 4%-5%
  3. Uniform and fresh look

Replacement Prevents Further Roof Deterioration

Repairs cause your current roofing to deteriorate just from having to go up on roofing that hasnt been damaged yet. A full replacement is done in sections and is always left fresh after install.

High performance, low maintenance, and long-term durability.

BEST FOR:

  1. Steep pitches
  2. Additions
  3. Modern architectural styles
