Upon a professional roof inspection of your Puyallup home, the roofer may assess whether you need repairs or a replacement. Learn when a simple repair suffices and when you need roofing replacement near me.
Age of Roof
Roof longevity varies depending on material type, climate, and maintenance. For the most part, home roofs last on average 25 to 30 years. Once the roof is around this age and an inspection reveals damage, it’ll likely need to be replaced.
Leak Damage
How often do you have a leaky roof? If the roof is around 10-years-old and only had a single instance of a leak, that doesn’t warrant replacing the entire thing. However, if a roof of the same age has a history of leakage, then the structure may no longer be reliable.
Speaking of leaks, the three-strikes rule comes into play. Three separate cases of leaks likely mean a replacement is the recommended course. This is especially so if the leaks happen within a small timeframe, and the leak locations are within close proximity of one another.
Membrane Damage
The roof membrane causes water to slide off the surface. With time, the membrane starts to wear and cracks and openings manifest. If the membrane is too badly damaged, the roof in its entirety may be beyond salvageable.
Overall Damage
Experts typically recommend a replacement if more than 25% of the roof is damaged. We also advise replacement if the roof was previously recovered, meaning the membrane was previously replaced while the original shingles and other materials remain intact. Roofs can typically be recovered only once over their lifespan.
