What's The Difference Between Roofing Repair & Roof Replacement?

It’s easy to get confused by the terminology. Roof repair and replacement can seem like the same thing, but in fact, these two processes are pretty different from one another. Roof repair is more along the lines of patching up a leak or two while replacement refers to the process of taking down your old roof and installing a new one.

When you let things go too long without getting a minor roof repair done, you run the risk of spending a lot of time and money on an entire roof replacement.

You may not realize the full benefits of a roof repair if it doesn’t seem like your roof has much wear and tear on the surface. However, it is essential to consider the long term repercussions of not regularly maintaining your roof so you can make an informed decision.

First of all, it saves money in the long run. Sure, you may be less inclined to get a roof repair because of the cost, but imagine how much more a full roof replacement is going to cost if you don’t do the proper maintenance while you can. If it gets to that point, you won’t have the option to save that money. Keep the long term financial benefits in mind and get a roof inspection every few years.

Also, you may be unaware of the state of your roof, so it’s essential that a roof repair specialist comes and checks everything out for you. Just because you can’t see a leak, doesn’t mean one doesn’t exist. You could have a roof ridden with leaks that you’re entirely unaware of. Usually, once leaks and damage start to become apparent to the naked eye, you’re probably past the point of no return. Avoid spending extra time and money on a replacement and make sure you don’t leave the damage until it’s too late.

Finally, meeting with a roof repair contractor will not only help you maintain the roof in which you invested so much in the first place, but you can also start planning for when it is necessary to get a roof replacement. You’ll learn approximately how much time your existing roof has left, as well as the cost and upgrades available. That way, you’re not only getting a roof repair, but you’re consciously planning for the future.
