When to Repair and When to Replace Your Roof

Any type of roof damage can be detrimental to your home. From the biggest holes to the smallest cracks, you have to be diligent. Knowing when to repair and when to replace your roof is important for preventing long-term damage and accruing extra costs.

Wind damage, storm damage, and hail damage are common in Minnesota. When they occur to your roof, you need to determine if it’s worth repairing the damage or replacing the roof altogether.

When damage occurs, you need to contact your insurance provider. The roof insurance claim adjuster will assess the situation and tell you what they think the best solution is. However, this process can be a headache.  It can be hard to take their words at face value. They likely do not have your best interests at heart.

How do you determine what the best choices are for your roof?

Roof Damage

 

While roof damage occurs due to  a variety of reasons, most of them are weather-related. Wind damage, storm damage, and hail damage are all common culprits. The average annual precipitation (rainfall plus snowfall) in Minnesota ranges from 18 inches in the northwest to more than 32 inches in the southeast.

The elements can cause damage to your roof in  many  ways. Wind can remove tiles, heavy rain can cause water damage and leaks, and hail can tear holes through your roof. Once you’ve lived in Minnesota for a while, roof damage is inevitable. Small repairs do the job the  first few times damage occurs. However, after a few years, you’ll need a replacement done by a professional contracting company.
