New Orleans Roof Repair or Replacement: What is the Best Choice?
Should You Replace or Repair Your Roof?
Of all of the questions a homeowner in New Orleans could have about roofing, perhaps
the most pressing would be whether to repair or replace their roof. How one
decides between repair and replacement depends on a few factors: roof type,
extent of damage, and age of the roof. For these kinds of decisions, Sunbelt
Roofs is here to guide you to a decision that best fits your particular needs.
Signs You Might Need Roof Repairs
1. Leaks and Water Damage
Leaks are typically the first indication of roofing problems. While it may seem as though a small leak would not be a big deal, over time, the amount and destruction from that leak does build up. Water leaking can weaken the structure of your home and lead to mold and mildew, which will impact indoor air quality and can even cause allergies and asthma.
2. Visible Roof Damage
Look for missing, curled, or damaged shingles. Besides, damaged or a tendency to fall apart of your gutters may become another warning of roof problems, as well as obvious openings around your chimney. An insignificant stain on your ceiling or peeling wall paper is evidence of roof leakage. These problems have to be revealed and dealt with as soon as possible.
Repair vs. Replacement: What’s Right for You?
Roof Repairs
Given that it is a relatively new roof with only partial damage, repair may be the best course of action. This isolates certain problems, such as leakage or a few damaged shingles, without needing to replace the entire thing. This is often less expensive and prolongs the life of your existing roof.
Roof Replacement
If your roof is nearing its advanced age or if the rafters are badly damaged, then replacement might be your only course of action. A new roof is a clean slate and has the likelihood of ridding you of any residual problems that a repair may not be able to resolve. A new roofing system may give your residence better energy efficiency and could even increase your home’s value a bit.
How to Determine the Best Option
Take a Close Look at Your Roof
This being the case, a professional inspection will determine the extent of damage
and what course of action should be taken. Sunbelt Roofs performs a
comprehensive inspection so that we may evaluate the condition of your roof and
provide recommendations based upon our findings.
Consider the Age of Your Roof
The age of your roof is a major factor that determines whether to repair or
replace. Most asphalt roofs last anywhere between 15-20 years. If your roof is
nearing or has attained this age, then a replacement might just save you money
in the long run.
Assess the Cost
Compare these repair costs to replacement costs. Factor in the new roof energy savings and increased value to your home, along with how much longer a new roof will last. Let our team give you a free comprehensive estimate to help you decide.
