Replacing your roof before you risk your health and safety is incredibly important. Sometimes a roofing company can repair your roof, but sometimes it is damaged beyond repair, and you need a complete roof replacement.

When you find you need a new roof for your house or company, you want to be sure to choose a roofing company that repairs all sorts of roofs, including flat roofs, pitched roofs, shingle roofs, roofs with asphalt shingles, metal roofing, and any other kind of roof material you can imagine.

But how do you know whether your existing roof needs just repair or a new roof? Before that leaky roof gets out of hand and can no longer be fixed with repairs, let’s take a look at why you want to call roofing contractors to talk about roofing.

How do I know I should call a roofing company to replace my roof?

It’s time to call roofing contractors for a free estimate for a roof job when your old roof has these issues:

 

You notice leaks

Brown stains on the ceiling and walls of your house are a sign you need roofing services. No matter how high quality, including roofing systems, roofing materials don’t last forever and, over time, deteriorate or become damaged and need to be replaced.

Roof leaks happen for a lot of reasons. One is weakened roofing materials that let water seep in between, under, and through your shingles into your home or commercial space.

This means water intrusion, and sometimes you’ll see visible puddles in your NY home or business during rainstorms from the water flow inside. You’ll also see puddles on a flat roof.

Small leaks can sometimes be patched or repaired by roofing contractors, but often small leaks go undetected until they create a bigger problem and require a new roof.

If you have leaks, it’s time to call roofing contractors.

But be sure they can repair any roof type, offer free estimates, do quality work, and don’t just do roof repair and use the best roofing material.

 

 Your shingles are damaged.

It’s time to call a roofing company for roofing services when you see issues with your shingles.

It may be hard to see with steeply pitched roofs, but over time, shingles can suffer all sorts of damage that defy roof repairs.

 

Shingles that are cracked

These are letting water into your home or commercial space.

 

Curled or damaged shingles

Shingles start loosening as your roof ages. And a buildup of moisture can happen between the materials–the roofing systems–insulating your roof and attic.

The moisture will curl your shingles, and it doesn’t matter if your New York home is old or new, it is probably time to call roofing contractors for a free quote.

 

 You have shingles missing

Missing shingles are never a good sign. Call roofing contractors and have them send out a team to do an inspection.

 

Vent discoloration or damage

Discolored vents or damaged vents can contribute to roof damage to your house by limiting ventilation, which leads to moisture buildup, which leads to roof damage that can’t be fixed by a mere roof repair.

 

Granules are Missing

Those little pebbles on your shingles help protect your roof from the weather. It’s natural to lose some of these over time, and you’ll see them in your gutters.

Lost granules make it easy for the sun and water to cause leaks as well as deterioration.

But lost granules don’t always mean you need to replace your roof.

Sometimes  roofing contractors could just do a roof repair by replacing damaged shingles, but usually, your roofing company will be talking to you not about roof repair but roof installation.

 

You have plants growing on your roof

Whether you have a pitched roof or a flat roof, plants like moss growing on it is a problem. Flat roofs in can have puddles after rain which leads to moss growth.

Moss is bad news for any roof. On  flat roofs, it can damage the coating as it spreads. The surface expands and contracts with changes in the weather.

This causes small imperfections that allow water in, and moss can break off in clumps, roll into your gutters, and block them.

 

Chimneys or skylights are damaged

It is time to call  roofing contractors if you notice damage to chimneys or skylights. It could be that you just need roof repair work to replace the flashing around the chimney or skylight.

But often, you have leaks and condensation that have ruined your roof, and you will need roof installation at your house or company.

 

You need new gutters

You can get cracks and holes in your gutters, whether it is damage from animals, hail, storms, or even if they were improperly installed.

Gutters can leak between joints, which means you would not need replacement but instead would need a repair job.

You might also need service if your fasteners are loose or the gutters aren’t pitched correctly.

During winters, ice dams can develop in your gutters and cause leaks that require prompt service. You might even need new gutters installed in.

Call a roofing contractor in and get a free quote.

 

 Your Roof Line is Sagging

Look at the shape of your roofline. It should be both strong and straight. This isn’t an issue with flat roofing, but it is with pitched roofs.

Do you see dipping, sagging, or curving? It’s time to call a roofing company with a team experienced not just in repair but in installation.

Sagging rooflines can be caused by framing issues, but they also can be caused because your roof deck is water saturated.

The existing one can’t be fixed by doing a repair job, and your roofers will tell you that you need roof installation.

If you or your roofing contractors in see damaged shingles, water damage, or leaks, you need to call roofing services that are locally owned, offers a free estimate, are fully licensed, do a quality job, and have experience with your particular roofing problem.

 You should act quickly because a sagging roofline can partially or completely cave in.

Tell your roofing contractor that you need a team out ASAP. If they can’t provide speedy service, move on to another contractor and see if they can do the job right away.

 

 Let’s talk about flat roof challenges

Flat roofs can be found on some homes and businesses.

Flat roofing can present some unique issues not found in other roofing systems, so if you notice any of these, be sure to call roofers.

These flat roof problems that require speedy service can be found in Brooklyn and all over and include:

 

Sun and weather exposure

Flat roof issues in include exposure to the sun, lightning, freezes, hail, wind damage, and debris driven by the wind.

Pollution can also contribute to you needing a flat roof repair job.

 

Leaks

Leaks happen to all roofing, but they are extremely common when it comes to flat roofs. They need maintenance by a roofing company that understands flat roofing.

If the job of maintenance isn’t done, your roof will no longer shed water properly, and that means it has only one place to go: inside your building.

These roofing leaks may not seem like a big deal, but they can cause problems like dangerous mold if the problem is ignored.

Drainage can be a problem with flat roofs. They are usually constructed with a slight slope, but because there is no “natural” slope, you can have roofing problems.

Water from rain, fog, frost, or snow in can collect in standing ponds, say roofers. A gallon of water weights eight pounds can cause your flat roof to sag in places and leak.

It’s time to call in local roofing companies who can send a team over to look at the scope of the job. Be sure to take advantage of free estimates, and be sure you find roofers who do a quality job and offer prompt service, whether you need repairs or a roof installed.

 

Blistering and shrinking roofs in

It’s important to have your flat roof inspected regularly, and it can be done at a reasonable price by most roofers. Just be sure to get those free estimates before work starts.

 

Blistering on your  flat roofing

Flat roofs can suffer from blistering, as well as other defects on the surface. Alligatoring happens when a roofing membrane deteriorates to the point that it looks like alligator skin.

These sorts of surface defects usually happen because the roofing was overexposed to the sun or the insulation in your roofing systems has been saturated with moisture.

 

Shrinkage usually means replacement

Shrinking can be caused by a membrane that was improperly installed with a defective membrane.

This is why it’s important to always choose locally-owned quality roofing services from roofing contractors that use quality materials.

This shrinkage happens roofs that are made from synthetic rubber, such as EPDM. Seams eventually pull apart and allow small openings in the roof’s surface that can create leaks in your house or company.

 

Hi-Tech Roofing

The design of homes is ever-changing, and innovations are being developed all the time. One of these is a high-tech roofing system composed of metal roofing that can be put over an existing roof or installed as a new roof.

This innovative roofing system focuses on saving energy and includes:

 

A reflective coating

In urban areas a reflective coating can help you save up to 25% on summer cooling as well as help slow the “heat island effect” from buildings absorbing heat and then re-emits it.

.

Solar thermal panels to heat water

Solar thermal panels store solar energy. This will help many a home and business reduce their reliance on fossil fuels and lower electricity use.

 

Rainwater harvesting

It is not for drinking in, but the water collected can be used to water plants, flush toilets, or for any other use that doesn’t require purified water.

 

Solar electric panels

Solar electric panels on your roofing can provide energy for your entire home or office building.

 What roofing material should I use?

There are a lot of roofing types available, and your roofer can tell you what’s best suited for your home and business.

Roofing available in include:

  • Metal Roofing
  • Shingles Roofing
  • EPDM Roofing
  • Solar Tiles
  • Green Roofing

So whether you want to go with traditional materials or something more hi-tech, find a roofing business that not only provides speedy, reliable service but one that also offers plenty of options for you to choose from.

 

Roof replacement cost

The national average for roofing replacement is between $5,700 and $12,310 per Angi, with the average price being $8,990.

A lot of factors play into this cost, including the size of your home or business and the material used. The best way to find out is to get a free estimate.
