Metal roofing has become increasingly popular over recent years. Many new homes are being built with metal roofs because of their longevity and the simplicity of maintaining them. With more and more metal roofs being used, there are some questions about them that many may be wondering, such as how do I know when it is time for a metal roof replacement.
Warning Signs of Potential Repairs or Replacement
Even though metal roofs typically don’t develop as many issues as traditional shingled roofs do, there are still some telltale signs that the roof may be failing. These signs include rust, spots of damage, and leaks. If you notice any of these signs, it is best to contact a roofer as soon as possible for a recommendation on how to move forward.
Should I Repair or Replace?
Oftentimes, issues on a metal roof can be addressed through simple repairs. However, if the area of damage is too extensive, the correct solution is a full roof replacement. This is why it is important to take care of the small problems before they grow into a bigger issue. Luckily, metal roofs have a long lifespan when correctly installed, last around 40 years or longer, so as long as the installation was done properly, it is likely that repairs will be the answer over replacement. Just keep an eye out for small indications and be sure to check your roof following severe weather, as severe weather can wreak havoc on your roof.
