FAQs
How do I know if my roof needs minor repairs instead of a full replacement?
Minor repairs are typically enough if the damage is localized—like a few missing or cracked shingles, small leaks, or visible wear in one area. If your roof is structurally sound, and the rest of the shingles and underlayment are in good shape, minor repairs can extend the life of your existing roof. However, if you notice widespread shingle deterioration, severe water damage, or structural problems, it’s usually more cost-effective to consider a full replacement.
What signs indicate I should call a professional for roof repairs?
Check your attic regularly after heavy rain or snow for any leaks or water spots. Outside, look for loose or curling shingles, visible shingle granule loss, and damaged flashing around chimneys or vents. Damp spots on ceilings, peeling paint, or persistent musty odors can also signal hidden roof leaks. If you see any of these warning signs, it’s best to schedule an inspection to prevent more serious damage.
How long do minor roofing repairs usually take?
Minor repairs such as patching a small leak, replacing a few shingles, or fixing flashing can often be completed within a few hours. The duration depends on factors like the size of the affected area, roof accessibility, and weather conditions. Our team in Robbins typically strives to minimize disruptions, so most minor repair work is wrapped up the same day.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover the cost of minor roof repairs?
It depends on the terms of your policy and the cause of the damage. Coverage typically applies if the damage is from sudden and accidental events—like a hailstorm or a fallen branch. However, normal wear and tear or issues stemming from neglected maintenance are generally not covered. It’s a good idea to review your policy, take photographs of the damage, and contact your insurance provider for specifics.
Why is it important to address roof damage promptly?
Delaying minor roof repairs can lead to more serious issues like larger leaks, structural rot, and costly interior damage. Prompt repairs help maintain your home’s energy efficiency, protect its foundation, and extend the life of your roof. Quickly addressing small issues also helps you avoid bigger, more expensive fixes down the line.
How can I maintain my roof after repairs are completed?
Regular roof inspections—ideally once or twice a year—are key to preventing future problems. Keep your gutters clear of debris to ensure proper water drainage. Trim overhanging branches that can damage shingles or add extra debris to your roof. If you notice any new signs of wear or leaks, schedule a professional checkup right away. Staying proactive helps you preserve your roof’s integrity much longer.
