Roofing Repair Or Replacement? What To Look For.

There was a big storm that hit and your roof seems to have suffered some damage. A question that seems to be passing through your head is whether or not that damage requires roofing repair or a complete replacement. Our experts at My Florida Roofing Contractor are here to clear up the air and let you know exactly what to look out for. There is a reason why we are the best roofing contractors Vero Beach FL.

 

What Should You Do?

If you are lucky there are some cases where all you need to do is replace a few shingles in order to restore the beauty and function of your roof. Many of these shingles are meant to last for decades, and if your roof is relatively new it is engineered to last for as long as you own your home.

 

Before you decide to replace shingles, however, it’s essential to have a professional inspect your roof to determine if any of the underlayment or decking is damaged. That is where we come in! You will not need to bother searching for the “best roofing contractors Vero Beach FL.” There is a big difference between a few missing shingles lost during heavy winds and a leak that extends through the various layers of your roof. If the damage is extensive, it is usually a better idea and a better value to replace the entire roof.

 

Also keep in mind that shingles are exposed to rain, heavy wind, and heat. Even if you have a spare box of shingles left over from when your roof was installed, you might have a hard time matching the “new” shingles to the ones on your roof. Depending on the location and the size of the area in need of replacement, it might be challenging to blend replacement shingles into the rest of the roof.

 

Roofing Repair – Patch or Replace

Understandably, many homeowners wonder if they can patch a damaged or deteriorating section of the roof rather than replace the entire thing. They may even opt to roof over the existing shingles instead of tearing off the old roof. Patching can work, but it poses all of the same issues, and even adds some, as replacing a few shingles.

 

Just like when you decide to replace your shingles, it is just as important to consult with a home roofing professional if you are considering patching your roof. A home roofing professional, such as My Florida Roofing Contractor, will perform a thorough inspection to determine if a patch will extend your roof’s lifespan without leading to future damage.

 

So how do you know when it is time to replace your roof completely? The answer depends on a variety of factors, which you should consider any time you are confronted with a roof repair vs. replace dilemma.

 

Again, when it is time to replace your roof, consult with a home roofing expert. Also, keep in mind that price should not be the only factor that influences your choice of a roofing contractor. You would not choose a “discount” heart surgeon. Likewise, you should not choose a roofing installation company based solely on a cheap price. By investing in a quality product and expert installation now, you can rest easy knowing your home is protected for the long haul.

My Florida roofing is an amazing company to deal with. The recently redid our roof from shingles to standing seem metal roof. It looks amazing. I got roughly about 10 quotes from the top roofers in Indian river county and they help educate me and showed me different options of material's for the new roof. Their team came in and stripped reroof the entire home in about week to do great weather. They strip and relapse before any rain could hit the exposed material. Rene and Maxine are such a pleasure to deal with. The are very upfront about everything and every detail that you speak with Rene about is backed up with written documentation so you know and see exactly what you are paying for. They also show and explain the different options to add on if you choose to. They are very quick to respond and answer any questions you may have in a timely matter. No doubt in my mind did I make the right decision going with My Florida Roofing. I recommend and would you use them again for any future projects. Again thank you Rene, Maxine and all of the team at My Florida Roofing for making a new roof process so quick and painless

The Reyes' were very friendly, accommodating and professional. Rene visited the site often to check on the work. The crew was professional friendly and efficient. We had our roof replaced, asphalt shingles to metal, almost a year ago now and still marvel at the look. The color matches perfectly with the house trim. I highly recommend MyFloridaRoofing.
