3 Advantages of Roof Replacement Over Roof Repairs

June 18, 2021 by Heritage Roofing

Your shingles roof is definitely durable but not completely invulnerable to damage. And if you have owned your home for a while, then you have probably needed to repair it at least once. But if you find that your roof is needing more and more repairs even if you are doing a good job maintaining it, then it might be time to consider a roof replacement. In today’s post, Heritage Roofing shares a few advantages of completely replacing your roof rather than patching it up.

1. You Can Start From Scratch

If you purchased your home already built, then chances are you probably weren’t involved in picking out the roof. If you decide to replace it, then you can have the complete freedom of choosing everything from the materials to be used to the color of the shingles. This prospect can be very exciting to homeowners especially since your roof plays such a huge role in your home’s overall curb appeal. 

2. You Can Address Structural Problems

Sure, replacing old and worn-out shingles is fairly inexpensive and easy to do, but if you have structural problems then a simple repair job definitely won’t cut it. If you have decking and other structural issues, it is best to call in your roofer right away so you can speak to them about having your roof replaced.

3. It Will Probably Be Cheaper In the Long Run

If you already have your roofing contractor on speed dial due to the constant repairs needed to maintain your old roof then it is probably time to completely replace it. You may think that you are saving money by doing quick repairs but this will definitely cost you more in the long run.
