Roof rejuvenation is possible under almost all circumstances, but how can you tell if your home needs a roof repair or a replacement? Guaranteed Roof offers owners in Atlanta an affordable choice for roof repairs. Although we believe in saving your roof not replacing it, over time repairing may not be the safest solution. Here are a few signs your roof is too old to be rejuvenated.
How To Tell if a Roof Is Too Old To Be Rejuvenated
Age
When you are considering if roof rejuvenation is possible, determine how old your roof is. Most asphalt shingle roofs have a lifespan of 20-25 years, while metal roofs can last up to 50 years or more. If your roof is past its expected life span, it may be time for a roof replacement.
Visible Damage
Carefully look for visible damage such as missing or broken shingles, cracks, or holes in the roof. This can affect the structural integrity of your roof and if the damage is too widespread, rejuvenation won’t be a viable option. We recommend checking your roof once a year to inspect any changes.
Leaks
Most of the time roof leak repairs are easy fixes for Guaranteed Roof. That being said if you noticed your home has leaks occurring frequently or in multiple areas, roof replacement will need to be your number one priority.
Roof Sagging
Roof sagging is another sign of structural damage or a weakened roof deck. Make sure you check for areas of your roof that are dipping in places as rejuvenation may not be possible, but replacements will most likely be necessary.
There are many indicators that a roof is too old to be rejuvenated. If you are unsure if any of these signs are occurring on your roof, request a quote from Guaranteed Roof and we can come to answer your questions!
