How to Decide on Shingle Repair Or Shingle Replacement

Every homeowner knows that maintaining the condition of a roof is vital for protection from the outside world.

But people on tight budgets often assume annual inspections aren’t necessary because deterioration takes years before shingle repair or replacement is necessary. Even so, if you want your roof to be as durable as possible, it needs regular checkups.

Annual Professional Inspections

Despite the fact that many types of shingles are designed to withstand rain, snow, and heat for decades, that achievement only comes from routine inspections that ensure the roof is in optimal condition. An inspection may uncover a problem in its early stages and be resolved to avoid future costs.

Shingle Repair vs. Roof Replacement

Your primary roof concern should be there are no leaks, which can cause continuous damage to your home. If the wood in the attic gets exposed to too much moisture, its lifespan will diminish faster, requiring complete or extensive shingle replacement. But if you are only missing a few shingles, you may want to just go with minor shingle repair work.

Trained Professionals vs. Cheaper Alternatives

The main problem with the DIY approach to roof replacement or shingle repair is that it poses several serious risks that if you overlook safety precautions, insurance plans, roofing knowledge and skills.

If you try to save money by doing the job yourself or outsourcing to a friend who lacks adequate experience and certification, the results can be disappointing. Improper installation is a common reason why DIY projects must be redone to fix problems that didn’t have to happen. An experienced professional will be equipped with all the proper tools for shingle repair.

While budget is always a major concern, especially for a startup, you should focus on the long-term effects of your roofing strategy. To maximize your project, use professionals that do roofing on a daily instead of occasional basis. Trained roofers are far less likely to make mistakes than someone who might not even be aware of OSHA safety guidelines.

I wanted to let you know about an experience I had with one of your employees. I live at 1200 Knottingham Court in Kingsport Estates and apparently, your company is servicing our condo association. My building has had a leak in the entryway for several months and Eddie was dispatched out to have me show him the source of the leak inside. I met him on Friday, September 21st and just wanted to tell you how impressed I was with his friendliness and professionalism. He immediately found the source of the leak and even went up on the roof to show me. He assured me that someone would take care of it as soon as possible and told me he would give the report priority to avoid any further damage. As someone who used to be in Customer Service, I always value a company that hires people that are not only skilled at their trade, but also skilled at interacting with people. Eddie is a great example of that and I wanted you to know so you could tell him what a great job he does! I am so glad that Alma Management chose Adams Roofing to be our roofing contractor!...

Charlie, Thanks very much for replacing the gutter! No one has been out to do it, at least before I left for work this morning. But I will definitely let you know whether it’s done correctly. I am very satisfied with your roofing job. It looks great, and more importantly, there were no leaks when it rained (even though we haven’t gotten really hard rains yet). So, I have been very pleased with my experience with Adams, especially with the professionalism and responsiveness of you and Dan. Thanks.... [more]

I wanted to take a moment to comment on your technician, Eddie. Eddie was assigned to inspect a roof leak I am having in my home in Cobblestone Circle. He was prompt, professional, courteous and informative; everything a customer could ask for when inviting a contractor into their home. Eddie represents Adams Roofing Well; and clearly he is an asset to your company. Kudos to him! Thank you.... [more]
