Repair or Replace?

When it comes to residential roofing, asphalt shingles are a popular choice for their ease of installation, low cost, and variety of colors. They are the most popular roofing material in the United States for residential roofing projects.  

As a homeowner in the Sacramento area, you may feel unsure if you need a full roof replacement, maybe it can be restored, or if you can get by with shingle roof repair.

There are a few things to help you determine if you can get a few more years out of your current roof or not. Here are some ways to help you decide between shingle roof repair or shingle roof replacement:

Age

Shingle roofs do not last forever. They are one of the least expensive roof material at initial installation. However, after factoring in maintenance, they may end up costing more than other materials. They also aren’t as durable as some other materials. Having an honest discussion with your roofing contractor about your roof’s age can set your mind at ease.

Weathering

Shingle roof repair may be in order if most of your roof is in good or acceptable shape but some areas, such as those receiving direct sunlight or facing prevailing winds, are more worn. Tabs lifting from the wind, for example, may indicate problems with your roof which need to be addressed.

Localized Damage

Hail or tree limbs may hit your roof and damage some individual shingles. These can be replaced easily if the roof sheathing beneath the shingles is undamaged. If major damage (high winds, wildfire embers) has caused uplift or overall degradation of the shingles, replacement is in order.

Flashing and Shingles

Metal flashing is more durable than an asphalt-fiberglass shingle, but where the two meet can be problematic. If your old flashing is steel instead of heavy gauge aluminum or galvanized metal, rust can eat away at the flashing. This makes it easier for water to get into your home. 

What’s in the Gutters?

If you find your gutters filling with shingle granules, your shingles may be beyond repair. Once the granules wash off the asphalt, nature breaks it down. While shingle roof repair can fix a spot here or there, extensive granule loss is a signal to replace the roof.
