If there’s one type of home remodeling task that
homeowners dread, it has got to be roof work. When it comes to any kind of
roofing task such as repair, roof
replacement, or restoration, it is bound to cost a significant amount
of money. Homeowners don’t have much of a choice since brushing aside these
tasks would mean facing an even bigger cost later on. If your roof is old, has
signs of damage, and in need of changes, you might have contemplated about the
types of work and the cheapest you can get. This article will let you in on
just what you should do.
What’s the
difference between roof replacement, repair, and restoration?
Roof repair
– this type of roof work is self-explanatory. Fixing missing shingles on your
roof will be counted as roof repair. However, to what extent will the work
still be considered as roof repair? In general, if the roofing tasks only cover
30% of the entire roof, then that’s still considered as roof repair. If it gets
bigger than that, you will have to call it something else such as a roof
replacement.
Roof
replacement – as what the term suggests, a North
Myrtle Beach roof replacement refers to the replacement of the entire
roof. If in case the roof is severely damaged or when the damages are too huge
for repairs to be made, a replacement will be necessary. As you might have
imagined, replacing an entire roof will be the most expensive project you can
have next to having a new roof installed. In fact, there are instances wherein
a roof replacement costs more than a new roof because of the difficulty of
removal and installation of the new roofing materials. This brings us to the
next topic.
Roof
restoration – a roof restoration is basically a refresh of the existing
roof. Instead of taking apart the existing roof or repairing it, a roof
restoration improves and refurbishes the old roof to make it like new. Of
course, just like roof repair,
a restoration project involves certain measures to ensure that the roof is back
to its original shape and quality.
When should
you consider a hiring a roofer like NMB Roofing Pros
for a roof restoration?
Do bear in mind that roof restoration does not
apply to every single home. There are certain conditioners that need to be met.
If you are not sure with the state of your roof, have a roof inspection
done. This usually solves the problem and uncovers the real state of your roof
and if it qualifies for a roof restoration.
Here are
instances where you could go for a roof restoration:
·
When the roof is somewhat new or at least 5
years before it reaches its estimated lifespan.
· ·
When you plan to sell your home and upgrade the
roof to improve its quality.
· ·
When you already have two roofing layers and
want to avoid a complete teardown.
· ·
When your roof is making your home too hot in
the summer due to direct sunlight.
Always keep in mind that the costs of a roof
restoration, repair, or replacement will vary depending on certain factors. Availability
of materials and the roofing company you hire
will all impact how much you will spend on your roofing project.
