Roof Restoration Vs Roof Replacement

Do you restore your roof or replace it?

It goes without saying that your roof protects you and your items from the elements. As it its important role, it’s crucial to carry out periodic inspections from the inside out.  This is especially true if you have an older roof or after a severe storm.

We’ve created a guide to help you identify the condition of your roof, and whether you need to repair, restore or replace it. After 100 years, we’ve gotten pretty good at identifying troublesome roofing issues.

If You Have a Concrete Tiled Roof

The first thing to look for is any broken roof tiles. Roof tiles are like a protective shell and function as your first line of defense. Ensuring structural integrity protects you and your home contents but broken roof tiles won’t keep your home water tight.

If you notice any broken tiles, contact a licensed and insured roofing company (like us). Don’t delay – replace your broken tiles today. If you don’t carry out regular inspections, the damage may go unnoticed. This always leads to bigger issues.

Uninvited Visitors & Water Damage

These areas also act as potential entry points for animals and water. Don’t let water penetrate the underlying layers of the roof, creating water spots on the ceiling, fascia or eaves. If caught early with minimal damage, a simple flashing repair in the faulty area will suffice.

All Roof Types

Other cases that warrant repair for any roof type would be:

• sagging roof and gutters
• pooling water on your roof
• damaged eaves
• cracked flashing
• or recent accumulation of rainwater inside your roof.
