Deciding on repairing and painting your old roof, or on replacing it with a brand new one, can be a tough choice in most cases. Homeowners have to be very careful when making such choices, as it is very possible that they’d lose a significant amount of money just by opting for the wrong type of roofing material or product.

Highlands Ranch roof repair helps a lot when your roof is relatively new and you don’t have that much damage to worry about. In such cases, most roofers will recommend a quick repair without even hesitating, and the only time when they’d say that a partial or complete roof replacement might be needed is if the old roof was installed poorly, or if there is structural damage that cannot be fixed without stripping off the old installation.

On the other hand, roof replacement is the main choice when the roof you had is old, unsightly or extensively damaged. Of course, there are nuances here as well. For instance, a severely damaged old roof can still be fixed and the damaged shingles repaired, if the foundation of the structure is still in good condition (meaning the decking and underlayment is intact and robust). However, curb appeal, improved insulation, better energy efficiency and fewer future repairs can all become incentives to replace an old roof, even if it can still theoretically be repaired.
