When your roof sustains damage, do you need to replace it or can you get by with repairs? Answering this question can be challenging for homeowners. As experts in the installation and maintenance of asphalt, tile and metal roofing systems, Earl W. Johnston Roofing, LLC shares some pointers in today’s post to help you choose the best solution.
A roofing system unable to protect a home from water damage needs to be replaced. Roofs are designed to prevent moisture from penetrating the home. While an isolated roof leak may be solved through repairs, if you keep experiencing leaks, it may be time to invest in roof replacement.
Your gutters are designed to channel precipitation that lands on your roof safely away from your home. Over time, debris from trees and even materials from your roof can collect in the gutters, causing clogs. Any type of material—tile roofing, shingle roofing or wood shakes, among others—will deteriorate over time. At Earl W. Johnston Roofing, LLC, we encourage homeowners to have their gutters inspected and maintained on a regular basis to prevent debris accumulation and clogging. This also gives us the opportunity to see if any roofing component has landed in the gutter, which could indicate the need for a repair or replacement.
Even a well-maintained, high-quality roofing system will eventually succumb to the effects of wear and tear. Knowing how old your roof is will help you make better decisions about your roof’s condition. If you have a 20-year old asphalt roof constantly under repair, for example, it may indeed be time to get a complete replacement.
