Elite Roofing and Repair Services
It’s easy for your roof to be out of sight and out of mind, but the appearance and quality of your roof play a subtle role in shaping how you feel about your home. A well-constructed roof can be the difference between a house that projects security and pride and one that struggles to meet basic functions. Roofs can take damage over time due to extreme weather or simple aging. But what is the best way to proceed when you want to make structural changes to your roof? Read on to learn how to perform a roof inspection, when to replace or repair, and why Elite Home Energy Solutions is the best roofing company in Miami.
ROOFING SOLUTIONS
Roofing Inspections
It is important to conduct routine inspections of your roof, as it can help prevent small signs of damage from growing into bigger problems in time.
Roof Replacement
Reset the clock on your roof’s lifespan or update the looks of your house or business with a brand new roof.
Roof Repair
Roof repairs can take different forms, from patching a single area with new shingles to opting for a partial roof repair, instead of replacing the roof outright.
What to Look for in Roofing Inspections
Taking some time to conduct routine inspections of your roof can help prevent small signs of damage from growing into bigger problems. Looking at the roof from different perspectives (inside, from the street, or up close on a ladder) gives you a greater understanding of your roof’s current condition. If you notice any of the following warning signs on your roof, it may be time to consider getting some work done on the property:
- Holes, leaks, or stains in the attic
- Blistering or peeling paint
- Mold on mildew on the wall
- Sheathing decay
- Shingle damage
- Dark streak
- Exposed or rusted nails
Roof Replacement Services
If a roof takes on too much damage, it may be recommended that the entire roof be replaced with a new one. A full roof replacement accomplishes two things: in addition to resetting the clock on the roof’s life span, it also gives you the opportunity to completely transform the look of your house or business. New materials can lead to new designs to help you fulfill your aesthetic ambitions.
It’s easy to assume that a full roof replacement is more expensive than repairs, but this isn’t necessarily the case. While the upfront cost of a replacement may be higher than repair services, a replacement lowers the possibility for successive repairs in the future.
Roof Repair Services
Roof repairs can take different forms. Patching an area with new shingles is the most affordable option for repairs. However, it can be difficult to match shingles with the established pattern on the roof. If you really care about visual style, patching may not be the right choice for you. Partial replacements are another way type of roof repair where a section of the roof is replaced instead of the entire structure. This is a great option if roof damage is more severe on one side of the roof. Partial replacements provide more assurance of matching shingles than patching does, but new shingles may not always line up well at the ridges on the old roof.
Roof Repair or Full Replacement?
Whether you should opt for roof repairs or a full-on replacement comes down to several factors, such as:
- The age of the roof
- The extent of the damage
- The type of roof
- Building codes
- The possibility of strong weather in the region
- If you plan to stay in the home for a long time
- Your budget
