ROOF REPAIR
PROVIDING A HASSLE-FREE RESIDENTIAL ROOF REPAIR PROCESS
Homeowners often delay important or necessary roof repairs because they fear the work will be more expensive than they can afford. In many instances, they believe their roof needs replacement. Installing a new roof may seem inconvenient or too pricey. We understand your concerns. At West Orange Roofing, we assess your roof for free and provide an honest estimate based on what recommended course of action makes the most sense.
REASONS TO AVOID DELAYING ROOF REPAIRS
Your home contains your most precious and worthwhile belongings. Your roof represents the first line of defense against outside factors intruding on your home’s interior. When your roof experiences damage requiring repair, any delay further jeopardizes the integrity of your roof and, by extension, your home. Take the following factors into account when considering whether to address issues with your roof:
UNWELCOME STRUCTURAL COMPLICATIONS
Structural issues may result when water leaks into a home because of a failing roof. Prolonged exposure to water saturation weakens the structural integrity of the components that strengthen your home. Repeated water intrusion to rafters, joists, and drywall will cause rot, mold, and mildew. Unfortunately, repairing or replacing structural areas is upsetting and cost-prohibitive for most homeowners.
UNEXPECTED
ELECTRICAL ISSUES
Your home’s electrical wiring must always remain dry to function correctly. Moisture exposure jeopardizes performance and exposes your electrical system to a substantial risk of failure. In general, repairing a major electrical malfunction represents a costly but necessary proposition. Avoid this unnecessary threat by proactively addressing an existing roofing problem before it multiplies.
Potential Pest
Infiltration
Insects and small animals view any signs of damage to your roof as an open invitation to enter your home. Frequently, a tiny crack or opening in your roof creates sufficient space for a pest to use as a means of entry or to nest. An unwelcome guest can cause additional havoc by destroying other components of your home, including insulation, electrical wiring, HVAC systems, and drywall.
Potentially Dangerous Health Risks
Of particular concern, excess moisture entering your home via your roof fosters a damp environment. With muggy, humid weather at stake in Florida, a persistently saturated area in your home breeds mold quickly. Typically, remediating mold is costly and time-consuming. The health complications from prolonged mold exposure also aggravate respiratory conditions and produce allergic reactions.
ADDITIONAL
ROOF DAMAGE
An unresolved roofing problem often produces a multiplicative effect. For example, a leak near a chimney because of an adjacent flashing issue might cause excess moisture to intrude into other portions of your roofing system. Failing to address this situation quickly may result in a costly roof replacement. West Orange Roofing knows the signs to identify any problem areas, even hidden ones.
