Need your Roof repaired or fixed?

If your roof is very old and there are constant problems, replacing the roof might be your best bet. However, if you are experiencing a small problem, a simple fix may suffice. Cracked, curling, broken, or missing shingles can be repaired to stop a leak, but older roofs or roofs with widespread issues and many leaks must be replaced.

A roof inspection is a comprehensive analysis of the health of your roof. It gives roofing professionals the chance to identify any deterioration in your roof and make repairs as needed.

Most roofing systems should last around 20 years. However, many roofing materials, including slate, clay tile, and various metals, can last much longer.

The cost of roofing repair or installation depends on the pitch of your roof, size of your roof or the roof area that needs repair, type of materials used, what condition the roof is in, current market costs, number of shingle layers, and the chosen roofing contractor.

While some minor roof repairs can be done DIY, it’s generally recommended to hire a professional roofing contractor, especially for more complex or extensive repairs. Professional roofers have extensive training and are certified by the materials manufacturer, ensuring that you’ll get warranties and a job done correctly.

Hire professional roofers to inspect your roof thoroughly for signs that it’s time to replace it. Even if you don’t see any signs of damage, a roof that’s too old may be prone to breakdowns.

Roofing materials that exhibit high resistance to weathering and wear include:

1. Metal roofs: Metal roofs are durable and resistant to weathering, with a lifespan of 40-70 years. They are less prone to corrosion when properly coated.

2. Tile roofs (clay or concrete): Tile roofs are very durable against weathering, often lasting over 50 years. They can crack or break if impacted, but their overall resistance to wear and tear is high.

3. Polymer shingles: Polymer shingles, also known as synthetic or composite shingles, are formed to resemble asphalt shingles, wood shingles, or slate tiles. They are overlapped to cover the roof and can be factory-colored with light- or cool-colored pigments to enhance their weathering resistance.

These materials demonstrate high resistance to weathering and wear due to their:

Durability: Metal and tile roofs are built to withstand harsh weather conditions, including extreme temperatures, wind, and rain.

Chemical resistance: Polymer shingles are resistant to chemical degradation, which helps maintain their integrity over time.

Low water absorption: Metal and tile roofs have low water absorption rates, reducing the likelihood of damage from moisture.

Impact resistance: Tile roofs, in particular, can withstand impacts without compromising their structural integrity.
