ROOFING FAQ: Common Roofing Questions You’re Probably Asking

 1) How can a homeowner recognize when a roof system has problems?

Many different kinds of damages that can compromise a roof system. It can be hard to know where to begin to look and, often, homeowners aren’treally sure what they are looking for. That’s why it is a smart investment to hire a roofing professional to perform a roof inspection
periodically (at least once a year). He will know what kinds of damage to look for and where to look for them.

2) What are my options if I decide to reroof?

You have 2 options: a) a full roof replacement OR b) a re-cover of the existing roof system.

A complete roof replacement requires that your entire existing roof system be redone. This involves
a “tearoff” of your existing system and is a full-blown roofing process. Cost depends on the type of shingle, style and
warranty/durability you choose. Talk to your local roofing professionals to get advice on what best suits your needs and your budget.
A re-cover of your roof system is the less demanding option. This process involves only the installation of the new roof system, meaning that it is a far more expedient and cost-friendly re-roofing option. However, building code requirements do not always allow for multiple re-roofs so if you’ve done this more than once before, then you may need a complete roof replacement. Talk to your local roofing professionals to ask about local building code requirements.
