If your roof is damaged during a storm, you'll likely have a difficult decision to make, which is to repair your existing roof or to invest in a replacement. Your decision will depend on factors such as your budget, the extent of the damage, and the age of your roofing materials.
Minimal roof damage is fairly easy and inexpensive to repair. A few missing or damaged shingles can be replaced quickly by a roofing contractor. If the damage is more significant, or a recent storm has worsened an already damaged roof, however, you're going to need to consider your options.
Partial reroofing can work if the damage is confined to a specific area of the roof. This is a good solution for homes with newer roofing structures. If your roof is nearing the end of its expected lifespan, though, it may be a better idea to replace the entire thing while you already have a crew on your property.
The majority of American homeowners have asphalt roofs, which typically last an average of 20 years. You can extend the lifetime of your roof by investing in roof restoration. This process works best for roofs that are still structurally sound but require fairly significant repairs. Damaged roofs needing a number of new structural materials are not good candidates for restoration and will typically need to be replaced by a qualified roofing contractor.
