… the roof is an all-important part of the home, and a significant part of the weatherproofing of the home. That leaking roof ended up causing more damage than I had thought in just a small expanse of time.
Roofing: repair or replace?
Sometimes you can patch your roof back together instead of going for a whole new roof, but you may be hard-pressed to find a roofer who will do patch work. When a leak occurs, it is sometimes difficult to find a roofer who will just repair a roof instead of replacing it.
This is usually because the roofer makes more money by replacing the roof. That’s not to say that all roofers are out to replace a roof that can simply be repaired. This is certainly not the main reason that a professional roofer will avoid repair work. Roofing repair takes quite a bit of time. The roofer has to determine where the repair is needed – which means the roofer needs time to investigate the problem.
