Not every roofing concern can be resolved through repair. In cases where the damage is too extensive or the roof is very old, replacement is the better solution. Today, residential roofing Royal Roofing Construction shares some examples of times when it is best to replace rather than repair your roof.
-
Organic Growth. Check if there is organic growth on the roof. Moss is a major issue that must be addressed. Mold is another serious problem. Left unattended, it will grow quickly and spread throughout the roofing structure.
-
Attic Leaks. If there are leaks in your attic, consider installing a new roof. If you suspect that your roof is compromised, a roofing professional may advise you to start by inspecting your attic. You should inspect every corner, including the eaves by having someone crawl up under them.
-
Excessive Granules in the Gutters. Checking the condition of your roofing system is essential especially after an adverse weather event. If you discover cracking, buckling or missing shingles, immediate repair is a must. However, if shingle granules accumulate in the gutters, your roof may be nearing the end of its life, requiring you to replace it.
-
Very Old Roof. Each roofing component has a limit. While a clay or metal roof can last for more than 50 years, an asphalt shingle roof normally lasts only 25. If your current roof has undergone structural deterioration over the years and is nearing the end of its lifespan, it’s time to think about replacing it.
