Repair Your Roof

If your roof leaks or has damaged areas due to storm or wind damage, you’ll want to call on a professional to assess the needs unique to your roof. If your issue is simply replacing torn or damaged shingles, repairing a minor leak or small amount of water damage, a quick repair may do the job and extend the life of your current roof for years to come. If the damage to your roof is more extensive, a partial reroof is another less costly option restoring performance and extending the life of your roof. Two issues may exist with these repair options and should be considered when making your final decision. First, the shingles or roofing material for your project may no longer be available, meaning the repair or partial reroof won’t be an exact match for your existing roof. Second, partial reroofing is often costlier per square foot than a complete roof replacement.

“Bilt-Well repaired all the defects at a very competitive price. The standard of service and professionalism was excellent. We would use them again and would recommend them to others.” – Leigh Ann B. 

Install a New Roof

If your roof is showing considerable wear or has extensive damage, it may be wise to consider a new roof, which is typically less expensive than doing a partial reroof now and the remainder in a few years. When making this decision, consider the age of your roof, its life expectancy/warranty, as well as the local climate and the potential for damage. If your roof has a 25-year life expectancy and is 21 years old, a new roof may be the best value for you. Another point to ponder, if you live in an area with a proclivity to storms and high winds or dry and hot conditions, you should consider reroofing with materials recommended for those conditions. A new roof means considerable expense, but should last you for many years into the future, ultimately saving you repair expenses in the future, giving you peace of mind when inclement weather arrives, and adding value to your home.
