How do I know if I need a new shingle roof or just repairs?

Consider these factors when deciding between shingle roof repair or replacement:
  • Age: Shingle roofs typically last 20-30 years. If yours is nearing the end of its lifespan, replacement might be better.
  • Damage extent: Widespread damage, significant leaks, or structural issues often warrant replacement.
  • Cost: Weigh repair costs against a new roof's long-term benefits. Frequent repairs might make replacement more economical.
  • Aesthetics: Replacement offers a chance to update your home's look with new shingles.
A roofing professional can inspect your roof and provide tailored advice.

How do I find a shingle roof leak?

Finding a shingle roof leak requires careful inspection:
  • Check attic: Look for water stains, damp insulation, or mold.
  • Inspect roof: From a safe distance (ground or ladder), look for missing, damaged, or curled shingles; gaps; and damaged flashing.
  • Examine valleys and penetrations: These areas are prone to leaks.
If unsure, a roofing professional can pinpoint the source.

How long does it take to repair a shingle roof?

Shingle roof repair duration depends on the damage, roof size, and crew size. Minor repairs might take a few hours, while major repairs could take several days. Your chosen contractor can give you a more accurate timeframe after assessing the situation.

How do I repair roof flashing?

Roof flashing repair requires expertise to ensure a watertight seal. A qualified roofing contractor will typically:
  1. Inspect the flashing: Identify the type and extent of damage (rust, cracks, gaps, etc.).
  2. Remove damaged flashing (if necessary).
  3. Clean and prepare the area: Ensure a proper surface for adhesion.
  4. Install new flashing: Use appropriate materials (aluminum, galvanized steel, etc.) and techniques based on the location (chimney, vent, valley, etc.).
  5. Seal seams and edges: With roofing cement or sealant tape for a watertight bond.
DIY flashing repair is risky, as improper installation can lead to recurring leaks.
