Repair or Replace Your Roof? What Should You Do?

One of the most noticeable things about a house is its roof. It is the crowning glory of where you live. Like the crown on a King's head, it gives character and status to your abode. Likewise, a dilapidated roof is not only an eyesore, but it also poses a number of risks to the occupants of the house. Roofers Wellington are the professionals to call for your roof issues.

Common Causes of Roof Damage

There are different factors that contribute to your roof damage leaving you worried whether to do a repair of a full replacement. Some of the common causes include:
 

• Natural Disasters: These are the most common causes of roof damage especially if you live in places that experience erratic weather conditions. Some of the common natural disasters are tornadoes, hurricanes, wildfires, and earthquakes. These can cause serious damage to your roof.
• Time: Your roof is not designed to last forever. Like any other part of your house, it can only last as long and over time, mother nature wreaks havoc to it. When your roof reaches the end of its lifespan, you will be left with numerous problems including leaks and missing shingles.
• Moss: If your home is built in a shady or cool area, it is likely to have moss growing on it. If not removed, moss locks in moisture against your roof shingles making them rot.
• Seasonal Damage: During the winter season, snow and ice can cause ice dams. This trapped ice can pass through the sheathing under your roof leading to water damage.
