Roof Restoration
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
- 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
