You may not spend a lot of time thinking about your roof, but day after day, it keeps you safe from the elements. When it suffers damage from the weather, it’s not always easy to tell whether you need a repair or a full-scale roof replacement. Luckily, the roofing contractors from Tranberg Roofing created this guide to help their Blair, WI, clients understand whether a roof repair or replacement is necessary. 

Roof Repairs 

The two biggest factors in determining whether your roof should be replaced or simply repaired are age and severity of damage. If your roof is only a few years old and the damage is moderate, it’s probably cheaper for you to opt for roof repairs rather than a full replacement. The exception to this rule is when the roof damage is so extensive or difficult to repair that it will either be prohibitively expensive or negatively impact the look of your property.

Roof Replacements

Eventually, even the most cared for roof will need to be replaced. If your roof is damaged and it’s already 15 or 20 years old, you’re better off opting for a new one. One major benefit to a full roof replacement is that it gives you the opportunity to choose a new style. Modern asphalt shingles come in a huge variety of colors and they’re very affordable. A new roof is also a great selling point for buyers if you decide to put your home on the market.

If you’re still not sure whether you need repairs or replacement, the roofing contractors from Tranberg Roofing can come to your property, assess the situation, and give you their recommendations. You can visit them online or give them a call at (608) 989-2154 to schedule service.
