East Fork Roofing, a roof replacement company, is sharing ideas to avoid expensive repairs to a leaky roof. Making the right decisions about a roof ensures a home’s optimal performance and safeguards peace of mind.
Data shows that more and more Americans are managing expenses paycheck to paycheck. Most wait until a leak is discovered before having anything done to their roof. Resolving leaks requires a very high level of skill as it requires years of diagnostic experience to pinpoint the leak and find the error.
Trying to determine the condition of a roof while standing on the ground or inside the home is difficult. It takes inspection both on the roof and on the underside of the roof. Maybe even in walls and other parts of the home. It takes experience to know what to look for. A roof is constantly subjected to normal wear and tear on a good day, and little problems could be occurring which are invisible to the homeowner.
Ideally, the homeowners are getting routine annual roof inspections, tackling little problems as they arise and getting the maximum lifespan out of a roof. Replacement of a roof ought to be scheduled rather than needed to solve a major problem.
Mike Davis, general manager, shares that the following signs indicate a roof will need replacement soon:
Curling shingle edges
Visible loss of roofing granules (“bald spots”)
Brittle or cracked shingles
Missing shingles or visible mat (the protective material underneath)
Water leaking into attic or house
Even without water dripping from the ceiling, waiting for “one more year” can cause problems that could cost more in the long run than the replacement expenditure, Davis says.
Keeping a roof over a house may cost more or a lot less, depending on where you live, the size and complexity of the roof, and the materials used. The least expensive method to avoid the hassle of finding someone to repair a leak, the high prices, and low satisfaction involved, is to have a new roof before the wet season.
Using a locally-owned, licensed, bonded, and insured roofing contractor is the best way to ensure satisfaction. Many licensed roofing contractors offer financing as well. Avoid the high prices and long lines of winter. Find out what it will cost now to have a leak-free winter with a new roof.
