New Roof Installation in NJ, PA & DE

A roof is a significant investment. If you’re considering repairing or replacing it, there are many important questions to ask yourself and a qualified roofing contractor to decide which is best for your home. It would be best if you considered the age of your current roof, the condition of all roofing components, and whether you plan to sell your house in the near future.

Before considering a minor repair:

  1. Be sure you or a roofer examine the entire roof structure to determine other potential issues.
  2. Look in the attic for water intrusion or apparent gaps.
  3. Watch out for signs of roof damage, such as buckling shingles and damaged flashing, before those minor roofing problems become serious issues. The cost of a new roof may be worth it if you can avoid costly damage down the road!

Cost of Roofing Repairs

There are many variables to consider when pricing repairs, such as the type of roof, cost of permits, scope of roofing repairs, and existing water damage, as well as any exterior features like a chimney or skylight.

Roof Leaks and Emergency Repairs

Many different areas on your roof can cause leaks, from flashing and skylights to old shingles. Even a hole in your siding or leaky windows can appear as a roof leak. Address leaks right away to avoid mold and interior water damage. Water in your attic can pose a fire hazard, and waste energy as insulation becomes saturated. Your roof and your home can suffer significant structural damage if left unchecked.

To spot a roof leak:

  1. Look for water spots on your ceiling.
  2. Inspect your attic during a rainstorm to see if water is getting in.
  3. After a storm, check for missing shingles, damaged flashing, or any other compromised roof components.

Be proactive in getting leaks permanently fixed. Once your roof system is compromised by a storm, fire, or sudden malfunction, you must call a roofing contractor for a quick repair or a protective tarping to prevent further damage. Many roofers offer 24-7 emergency services to get your leaky roof stabilized. In the meantime, collect the water leaking through the roof and clean up any pooling water.
