V. Nanfito Roofing and Siding is the leading roofing contractor in the local area. One of the most common questions we hear from homeowners is “How do you determine whether to repair or replace the roof?” The answer to that depends on many factors. We can’t give a one-size-fits all answer because we need to inspect your roof to give you an accurate assessment. After all, every roof is different. When we inspect your roof, here are some of the factors that we consider:

• The Condition of Your Asphalt Shingles: We will pay careful attention to the condition of your asphalt shingles by looking for any cracks, curls or granule loss. These are just a few of the signs indicating your roof is vulnerable to weather damage. If we see these signs in one area of your roof, then we can simply repair and replace the damaged shingles. However, extensive damage throughout your entire roofing system requires a replacement.

• The Age of Your Roofing System: The age of your roofing system has a big effect on whether roof repair or replacement is more cost-efficient.  If your roof is less than 20 years old, there’s a chance that repair is the better choice. Your roof should still perform well for several more years once we repair it. However, once it passes 20 years, it will require special attention and expert maintenance, so it makes more sense to get a new roof.

• The Status of Your Roof Valleys: We will conduct a thorough inspection of your roof valleys. The roof valleys are the areas of your roof where two planes meet. Water can accumulate in this area so it is one of the most vulnerable areas of your roof. We can repair damage to this area, but if the shingles in the valley are too old or too damaged, we might recommend a roof replacement instead.
