Sometimes, simple room repairs may not just be enough to sort out your roof issues.
While minor roof problems like leaking roofs may require repairs, the only solution to other more severe challenges may be to replace the top, although both options may be applicable in most cases. However, you will need to choose which option provides a more lasting solution after careful consideration of the pros and cons of each side of the bargain.
Many times, people run into confusion trying to distinguish between a mere roof repair and roof replacement. Now, the difference is that, while roof repairs are concerned with the damaged parts of the roof, roof replacement is a total overhaul of the entire roofing of the building and replacing the old roofing sheets with new ones. If the damaged parts are not much, roof repair is absolutely a good choice, especially if the owner is working with a tight budget. Another option that the owner can opt for in any of the above is a partial replacement. A partial replacement focuses mainly on the damaged sections of the roof. It is a good option if the damage is a bit more than mere repairs can handle. Another option is Re-roofing, which is adding a second layer of roofs without replacing the old roofing.
• Cost: The truth is that roof replacement is the most expensive of all the options for salvaging damaged roofs. However, the extra cost will pay off in the long run. It lifts the expenses that you will incur in repairing your roofs over and over again. Thus, although more pricey, it is worth it since it helps you save the costs of constant repairs.
• Durability: New roofs come with a long life span, and most come with a lifetime warranty. Unlike a repair which is a quick and temporary fix, roof replacements are more permanent and equally durable. They may last you for decades before you think of any other repairs/replacements.
• Aesthetic Value: Needless to say that a new roof has some aesthetic value as it effortlessly adds to the beauty of your home, office, etc. In most cases, it gives your home a brand new feel and looks.
There is almost no disadvantage attached to roof replacement except that it can be pretty pricey. However, as already stated above, this is not a disadvantage as the extra cost will pay off in the long run. Also, many house owners fear that roof replacement may take an unexpected length of time, thus disrupting their life and schedule. However, this is not precisely true as professional roofers do excellently at getting the job done within record time while ensuring that it does not disrupt the house owner’s life.
