Below are some exterior and interior items you can look for that might be tell-tale signs of whether you’re in need of roof repairs or re-roof replacement.
Interior Leak Water Damage
If you see paint chipping, stains on the ceiling or any discoloration, these are all signs of roof failure. Fortunately, drywall damage and roof repairs can be completed at a fraction of the price of an entire new roof system.
However, if there is 30-50% overall damage and your roof is between 15-20 years old then replacing it might be the most cost effective approach.
Roof Leak Inspection
If you find interior water stains or any active roof leaks during moderate to heavy rain storms, schedule a roof inspection. We can isolate where the water intrusion is entering and complete roof leak repairs as needed.
Roof replacement is recommended in the event that the existing shingles are too brittle and visible signs of wood rot decay are found in multiple areas.
Roof Stains: Moss, Mold, Mildew & Dirt
Finding moss, mold, mildew and surface stains are signs of an aging roof system. Typically when a roof system turns 10 years of age is when signs of fungus growth usually begin to form due to moisture. You will begin to notice areas that don’t get as much direct sunlight throughout the day tend to age more quickly than other areas of your roof that do.
It is highly recommended to complete roof cleaning approximately every 10 years to avoid excessive damages cause by lichen fungi. Fungi will slowly eat away at asphalt shingles, cedar shakes, underlayment, and commercial flat roof systems.
If excessive fungi damages have been found, immediate repairs and/or partial roof replacement is recommended. Re-Roof replacement will be needed if there is over 30-50% fungi growth and roof damages.
Leaky Old Roof – Age Matters
Usually, most roofs can last up to 20-25 years if maintained properly. Roof repairs and roof maintenance is recommended every 5-10 years as shingles, flashings, sealants, underlayment, roof penetrations and fasteners will begin to breakdown naturally. Regular ongoing roof inspections should be completed every 5-10 years to avoid costly interior damages and to take a more proactive vs. reactive approach.
Re-roof replacement is recommended when the repair costs equal approximately 50% of what a roof replacement would cost to install and the existing roof is approaching the 15-20 year mark.
Storm Damage Roof Leak REpair
Visible signs of roof storm damage consist of: hail damage, wind damage, tree damage, shingles broken and/or missing, plywood decking buckling, cracking, delamination, excessive granular loss and shingles sliding out of place. Depending on the type of roof damage found during your roof inspection we can advise you whether or not to contact your insurance company for further assistance.
You will need to pay “out of pocket” expenses for non storm damage or regular wear and tear maintenance items for roof leak repairs. Also, moderate storm damage related repairs, if your deductible amount exceeds the repair expense. Excessive roof damage from recent storm events need to be reported immediately. If you wait too long to file an insurance claim they can deny and withhold financial assistance.
Residential Multiple Roof Layers
Isolated roof repairs can fix small to large damages, but if you add multiple roof layers over an existing roof system you will cause your roof attic and shingles to over heat.
As a result, this will also void your manufacturer warranty. This is why we always go back with proper 2-Ply built-up roof repairs. From new plywood decking, underlayment, shingles, fasteners and sealants our materials and workmanship are the best.
Commercial Multiple Roof Layers
However, if you have a low slope single-ply membrane roof system most commercial roofing manufactures will allow a second layer to be added. This type of commercial roof repair will save you a lot of money vs. tearing the original roof system off and building back from scratch.
Re-roof replacement is required if there are already two layers from a previous repairs.
New Roof Replacement
Replace your roof if more than 30-50% of the roof is damaged. If your roof is between 15-20 years old, and the cost to repair equals close to a new roof system.
