A new roof installation will provide years of protection for a home in the Hamburg, NY, area, while an old, tattered roof will lead to significant wasted expense and possibly endanger the people who live in the house.
Felgemacher Roofing & Siding serves Hamburg, NY, and the greater Buffalo, NY, region with licensed new roof installations to replace older, damaged roofs and as part of home construction projects.
Before we start planning for a new roof, however, we want to understand exactly what’s happening with the current roof.
Roof Repair vs. New Roof Installation
We tell our Hamburg, NY, customers never to let anyone start a roofing project without first performing a proper inspection. This is the only way to discover:
- Where the roof damage exists
- How extensive the damage is
- The parts of the roof and home that are being affected
- The right way to resolve the problem
If a storm has blown away some (or many) shingles, or if just one small section of the roof has become water-damaged, the solution might be a basic roof repair job. New roof installation is only called for when ongoing repair work would only delay the inevitable and cost more than the homeowner wants to keep spending.
After we inspect your roof, we’ll present our report and recommendations.
Signs that Your Roof Should Be Replaced
Certain situations make replacing your roof the right option.
- The current roof is 15+ years old and is in bad shape
- Shingle deterioration has become widespread
- You can see the roof sagging in multiple areas
- Structural damage is obvious
- You’re dealing with major water leaks in ceilings or the attic
- The roof has become an eyesore and is lowering the property value
A variety of factors can lead to this level of damage to your Hamburg, NY, roof, including old age, low-quality roofing materials, heavy rain and hail, lightning strikes, extreme air temperatures, and progressive leaks.
