How to know when to replace your roofAre you wondering if it's time to replace your roof, and hoping you could get by with a roof repair? Repair can be an option in certain circumstances. In others a partial repair or replacement won't serve your needs, and therefore roof replacement is best.
Here are some questions to ask yourself: 1. How old is the current roof? The newer your roof, the higher the likelihood that matching replacement roof shingles will be available. 2. Are you planning to sell the home in the next few year? A new roof can be a big selling point for your home. Conversely, an obvious roofing patch job can reduce curb appeal and repel potential buyers. 3. How much work is needed? Timing for a re-roof relies on several factors including age of the roof, extent of any damage, and climate in your location. Each time a crew comes out to repair or do a partial replacement there is cost involved. You will definitely want to consider whether or not it's worth it to have the entire roof replaced while the crew is on site. At Joye Roofing we do roof repairs, often same day. We can come out to look at your roof and help you decide which options are best. Call (803) 407-5569 to schedule a free inspection. DID YOU FIND THIS HELPFUL?
