Roof rejuvenation is possible under almost all circumstances, but how can you tell if your home needs a roof repair, a Roof Maxx® treatment, or a replacement? Guaranteed Roof offers owners in Atlanta an affordable choice for roof repairs. Although we believe in saving your roof not replacing it, over time repairing may not be the safest solution. Here are a few signs your roof is too old to be rejuvenated.
How To Tell if a Roof Is Too Old To Be Rejuvenated
Age
When you are considering if Roof Maxx® rejuvenation is possible, determine how old your roof is. Most asphalt shingle roofs have a lifespan of 20-25 years, while metal roofs can last up to 50 years or more. If your roof is past its expected lifespan, it may be time for a roof replacement.
Visible Damage
Carefully look for visible damage such as missing or broken shingles, cracks, or holes in the roof. This can affect the structural integrity of your roof. While Roof Maxx® is excellent for restoring flexibility to aging shingles, if the damage is too widespread or the roof deck itself is compromised, rejuvenation won’t be a viable option.
Leaks
Most of the time roof leak repairs are easy fixes for Guaranteed Roof. That being said if you noticed your home has leaks occurring frequently or in multiple areas, roof replacement will need to be your number one priority.
Roof Sagging
Roof sagging is a major sign of structural damage or a weakened roof deck. Make sure you check for areas of your roof that are dipping. In these cases, a Roof Maxx® treatment cannot fix the underlying structural issue, and a full replacement will most likely be necessary to ensure your family's safety.
