Dealing With Roof Issues – Repair or Replace?

Your home is typically the biggest investment you’ll ever make and it is vital to protect that investment, particularly when it comes to your roof. It’s your home’s last defense against rain, wind, hail and snow and once it starts to leak, you need to know what your options are. In Maryland, roofing issues are very common and need to be addressed before your home’s interior is damaged.

Inspecting the Roof

Once you’ve determined you have a roofing problem, such as a leak, the first step is to call in a qualified roofing company. A Montgomery County roofing specialist will be able to tell what is causing the link, the extent of the damage and whether or not a repair will work or if the roof needs to be replaced. Keep in mind that roofing material does have a shelf life and if your roof is over 20 years old, replacement may be the only option.

Even if you haven’t noticed any issues with your roof, in Maryland, roofing inspections should be done every three years. This ensures that you’re staying on top of any potential problems.

The Next Step

After the inspection is complete, the Maryland roofing company you’re working with will supply you with a written estimate stating what the problem is and what they recommend to fix the issue. In many cases, repair may work, but if a full replacement is needed, the Maryland roofing company will work closely with you to ensure that you’re pleased with every step of the process.
