Roof Restoration
Whether your roof has recently been damaged or you’re worried about potential damage in the future, a roof restoration can help. The roof protects the rest of the structure from water damage and must remain intact, no matter the conditions outside. When storms bring high winds and lashing rains, the roof often takes the brunt of the damage.
Choose Emrick Services for a reliable roof restoration with your insurance company’s support or investment to prevent future damage. As a full-service restoration company, we can handle everything from the roof down to return your home to its former glory.
Repairs vs. Roof Restoration
A roof restoration is a comprehensive approach to dealing with hail damage, missing shingles, and other issues across the entire roof. When only one small section of the roof is damaged, a repair may be all that’s needed. This is a rare occasion because the damage from storms, fires and other common threats to the roof tend to be widespread. When most shingles are damaged, patching up small sections will only result in excessive costs and a high chance of failure. Fixing everything from blocked ridge vents to rotting soffits ensures that the roof will last for many more years without leaks or high energy bills.
Can Restoration Prevent a Replacement?
Timely roof restoration is often the key to preventing a full replacement. Waiting too long to perform essential repairs could cause severe leaks or structural issues. Restoration is a comprehensive form of repair that tackles far more than just one issue at a time. By restoring the roof as much as possible after a storm or fire, there’s often no need to rebuild it fully. We can also maximize the reuse of any intact decking, underlay, and shingles to reduce waste and loss. While replacement is sometimes the only option, restoration can extend the lifespan of your roof when minor damage is caught in time.
Common Causes of Roof Damage
Common causes of roof damage in Kentucky include:
- High winds from summer storms, tornadoes, and similar weather events
- Hailstones, which can damage shingles in a way that’s difficult to see
- Intense daily sun exposure over long periods
- Unchecked mold or algae growth on the shingles
- House fires or wildfires that affect the roof from the outside
- Falling trees, limbs, and other debris
- Clogged gutters and ice dams along the eaves
Energy Efficiency
A damaged roof does more than threaten to damage other parts of the home. Depending on the season, it can negatively affect energy efficiency by allowing heat to escape or enter. It’s harder to keep the home warm in the winter and cool in the summer when constant small-scale leaks dampen insulation. A roof rebuild addresses all of the causes of energy loss that affect a roof, which could lead to lower monthly bills and a more comfortable home.
Benefits of Roof Restoration
An aging or damaged roof is a major sticking point for buyers, making it harder to sell your home until you repair it. Restoring your roof may boost your property’s value or at least maintain it. Restoration is often less expensive than a teardown and replacement, aiming to maximize the use of existing materials as much as possible. It’s also quicker and quieter than many other roof repair processes. There are roof restoration processes for every type of roofing material, including asphalt shingles, metal roofing, concrete tiles, and terracotta.
