We take a customer first approach to each project. We treat your home as if it were our own.
High winds, storms, and trees can wreck havoc on a roof. When they do, you have to decide if you patch the area or if the roof has to be fully replaced.
Contrary to what most roofing companies will tell you, you can almost always repair your roof. Most roofing companies do not offer repairs because it’s not the best way for them to earn maximal profit. The real question is whether it makes financial sense for the customer.
General rule of thumb is if the overall roof has 50% of its life remaining or more or if the damage is limited to a small area then repairing your roof makes the most sense.
Replacing your roof makes more sense the closer the life remaining in your roof gets to zero. You do not want to be in a position where you’ve sunk a thousand or more of your hard earned dollars into repairs and then have to do a full replacement shortly after.
On the flip side, you don’t want to spend thousands on a new roof only for a money hungry company to come out 5 years later and recommend another new roof because you have a few missing shingles.
If you have a 20 year roof that was done properly and you have zero problems with it, by year 15 you should be looking at replacement options. But if that same 20 year roof has issues in years 8, 9, and 10 most likely the roof was not properly installed to begin with. A roof like that you may be better off replacing rather that continually sinking money into it.
It’s hard to say exactly how much a roof repair costs because it depends on the size of the area that needs repair and the materials that are needed.
Another huge factor on repair cost is the contractor who does the work. An average repair, however, can start at $500 but depending on the complexity can go into the thousands.
If its a metal roof or something unique like cedar shake the average starting repair cost can be a bit more than that.
Some companies offer a no-hassle free estimate to give you an idea of what you’ll be spending on your particular repair.
The heavier the material, the higher the costs partially because of the increased labor. It takes more time to build or repair a heavier roof and heavier materials are more expensive from the manufacturer.
