Roof Repair
Appearance
Roof repair is the process of fixing localized damage to a roof, such as leaks, missing or damaged shingles, cracked flashing, or punctured membranes.
Common repairs[edit]
- Replacing missing, cracked, or curled shingles
- Sealing leaks around vents, chimneys, and skylights
- Repairing or replacing flashing
- Patching punctures in flat roof membranes
- Cleaning and resealing gutters and downspouts
Repair vs. replacement[edit]
Small, isolated problems are usually good candidates for repair. When damage is widespread, the roof is near the end of its life, or there are recurring leaks, a full replacement is often more cost-effective.
