Replace or Repair

One of the most important things to consider is the age of your roof. If your roof is more than 15 years old and has experienced a lot of wear and tear from natural elements such as wind, rain, and snow, then replacing it may be the best option. Similarly, if you’ve had any major storm damage that has left gaps in your shingles or caused significant water leakage, replacement may be necessary.

Aside from age and weather damage, it’s also important to inspect for signs of mold or mildew growth on the exterior surface of the roof as these can indicate water damage inside. You should also look at any cracks in the shingles or tiles as well as any missing pieces which could lead to further problems down the line.

The shape and slope of your home's roof should also play a role in deciding between repairs and replacements. For example, if your house has a steeply-sloped roof with wide eaves and overhangs which make accessing certain areas difficult, then a patch job may be appropriate rather than a total replacement. However, flat roofs are more prone to leaking due to their lack of drainage angle so they might require a complete overhaul. The team at Platinum Roofing is more than happy to explain this to you if need be.

Ultimately when making decisions about repair vs removal there isn't one right answer - each home needs an individual assessment before deciding what will work best for that particular situation. It is wise to consult with experienced professionals like those at Platinum Roofing who can give advice tailored specifically to your home.
