The Most Common Roof Repair Problems We Solve
5. Ventilation Repair: Roof ventilation is critical for regulating temperature and moisture levels in your attic. Over time, vents may become blocked or damaged. Repairing them may involve removing blockages, repairing damaged vents, or installing new ones to improve ventilation.
6. Chimney Repair: Chimneys are often a source of leaks because they involve penetrations in the roof. Common repairs include fixing the flashing around the chimney, repairing the chimney cap, or addressing any structural issues with the chimney itself.
7. Flat Roof Repair: Flat roofs often require unique repairs due to their lack of slope. Common issues include blistering, ponding water, and membrane shrinkage. Repairs often involve patching the membrane, improving drainage, or in severe cases, replacing the entire roof covering.
8. Skylight Repair: Skylights can leak if they're not properly sealed or if the flashing around them deteriorates. Repairing a skylight usually involves resealing the window, fixing the flashing, or in some cases, replacing the skylight if it's old or damaged.

Questions About Roof Repair?
Common signs include missing, cracked, or curled shingles, shingle granules in gutters, leaks or water stains on your ceiling or walls, sagging roof deck, and visible signs of wear and tear around roof objects and openings.

The cost can vary greatly depending on the extent of the damage, the materials used, and labor costs. On average, homeowners will spend between $300 and $1,100 on a roof repair. At A Better Roof For Less we offer FREE roofing inspections and repair/replacement estimates.
While some minor repairs might be manageable for a handy homeowner, most roof repairs should be left to professionals to ensure the repair is effective and doesn't lead to further damage. Working on a roof can also be dangerous without the right safety equipment and training.
The length of time it takes to repair a roof can vary depending on the extent of the damage, the type of repair, and weather conditions. However, most minor to moderate roof repairs can be completed within a day.
It's generally recommended to have your roof inspected once or twice a year, as well as after any severe storms or weather events. Regular inspections can help catch any potential issues early before they become major problems. A Better Roof For Less offers FREE roofing inspections to give you that peace-of-mind regarding your roof.
While you can perform a basic visual inspection of your roof, it is best to hire a professional roofing contractor like A Better Roof For Less to perform a thorough inspection. As professionals we have the necessary tools, experience, and training to identify and address any issues accurately.
Whether or not homeowners insurance covers roof repair depends on the cause of the damage. Damage caused by unavoidable events like vandalism or a natural disaster is usually covered. However, damage due to wear and tear or lack of maintenance is typically not covered. Always check with your insurance provider to understand what is covered under your policy. At A Better Roof For Less we can inspect the damage to your roof and provide you with the proper documentation for an insurance claim if the damage qualifies to be covered.
Neglecting necessary roof repairs can lead to more serious issues, including structural damage to your home, mold and mildew growth, and even roof collapse. Additionally, it can lead to more expensive repairs down the line.
Regular inspections are key to maintaining your roof. Additionally, keep your gutters clean, trim overhanging branches, check for signs of animal or insect activity, and replace missing or damaged shingles promptly. Proper attic ventilation and insulation can also help maintain your roof's health.
The lifespan of your roof largely depends on the material used and also more importantly, how it was installed. Asphalt shingles typically last between 15-30 years with higher quality laminated shingles lasting as long as 50 years. These are general estimates and the actual lifespan can be affected by factors like climate, maintenance, and installation quality.
Depending on the extent of the damage, you may be able to repair only the affected area. However, if damage is widespread or the roof is near the end of its lifespan, a full replacement might be more cost-effective in the long run. On older roofing systems it can also be difficult to get a perfect match for shingle colors and styles.
If your roof is actively leaking, particularly if the water is entering your living space, it's usually considered an emergency. Additionally, if a storm has caused significant damage or a tree has fallen on your roof, you should seek immediate assistance.
It's important to replace missing shingles as soon as possible. Missing shingles can expose your roof's underlayment and roof decking to the elements, leading to leaks and water damage inside your home.
Roof flashing is a material, typically metal, that is installed to direct water away from critical areas of the roof, such as vents, chimneys, and where the roof meets the walls. Properly installed and maintained flashing is crucial in preventing leaks. We are often called out to repair damaged roofing systems with the underlying cause being missing or poorly fitted roof flashing.
