Wet Behind the Ears? Not Us!
When your kitchen is wet behind the fridge or your upstairs closet is wet behind your dress shirts, you don’t want a roof repair company that’s wet behind the ears. You want someone with experience.
The longer your roof leaks, the more damage occurs. What could have been a simple repair quickly turns into costly internal damage and potentially an entire roof replacement if the leak isn’t stopped. That makes it crucial to find someone who can get the job done quickly, completely, and the first time.
It’s not enough to simply search for “roof repair near me” or call a roofing company whose signs you’ve seen around town. Not all companies have more than two decades of experience. Most haven’t performed several thousand jobs for more than 2,000 clients. We have! BigHorn Roofing has a proven track record. And when your roof needs a repair, that’s what you need–a company you can count on.
It’s not just water damage that can result from a damaged or degraded roof. Drafts can lead to significant increases in heating and cooling costs. When much of the air you paid to cool is escaping through small cracks and gaps in your roof system, your bills can skyrocket. If you are always fussing at your to “Close the door! The heat is running!” you should consider the condition of your roof. It may be doing at least as much to drive up your heating costs as the kid who stands with the door open while they put on their shoes.
Whether it’s problems with water or air, roof repair can help. But you may not get the fix you need to prevent ongoing issues if you don’t work with top roofing repair experts. BigHorn Roofing will provide high-quality roof repair services at competitive prices. Some roofing problems are beyond help. To fix your roof before it is beyond repair, call BigHorn.
Signs Your Roof May Need Work
As we’ve mentioned, a small problem can become a big issue if left too long. Unfortunately, homeowners can not always see signs of a roof problem until things have progressed into “big issue” territory.
If you see any concerning signs with your roof, you are better safe than sorry. Calling a roof repair expert when you see areas of concern will help you determine whether you can rest easy or need to spring into action to save your roof. Here are some signs your roof might need some attention:
Sagging
If you see any sagging on the planes of your roof, it’s time to call a roofing company immediately. Many things can cause sagging. Some possible explanations include too many shingles, excess load, water damage, or a weakened roof structure. None of those are good news for your roof. But if you want good news, all of them are repairable if caught early enough.
Missing or Damaged Shingles
The texture of your roof should appear uniform. If there are areas where the shingles seem crooked, warped, dented, or missing entirely, call in an SOS–Save our Shingles–pro. Your shingles form the first layer of defense against rain, snow, and drafts. They are your home’s armor. A knight wouldn’t wear armor with holes and areas that don’t lay flush because it wouldn’t provide sufficient protection. Don’t let your home continue the battle against nature with damaged armor. Arrange for an inspection and repairs before it’s too late and nature strikes a fatal blow to your roof.
Water Leaks
Homeowners often assume that wet spots on their ceilings or walls are internal problems. And they could be; a plumbing problem can lead to many of the same signs as a roof leak. Ruling out the roof could cause costly delays in determining the issue and getting it repaired.
Many homeowners will call a roofer if the moisture is in the attic or top-floor ceiling. And that’s the right choice. However, water spots on the walls, puddles on the floor, and even water incursion on a lower floor could also be caused by a roof leak.
Water has cohesive properties. That means it’s just a little bit sticky. That allows it to travel along beams, floor joists, and wall studs, often ending up surprisingly far away from the source. Don’t rule out roofing as the source of a water problem just because it isn’t directly under the roof.
Water inside your home is always a problem. If you aren’t sure of the source, call a roofing company.
Increased Energy Consumption
As we mentioned, problems with your roof can lead to problems with your wallet when it is time to pay your energy bills. If your use has increased without anything else changing, it could be a sign that your system must work harder to keep your home at a comfortable temperature. That may be because your heated air is escaping through gaps in the roof, or hot air can’t adequately vent through the roof system to cool your home in the summer.
If you notice a sudden increase in energy use, it could be a sign that your roof needs repairs.
Growth
Many people are trying to go green in various aspects of their life. When it comes to your roof, green is not good. Mold, moss, and mildew are not signs of a healthy roof. This growth will quickly degrade your roof materials. They will rot and fail due to the growth and the moisture it holds against their surfaces. A roof repair company can clean your shingles to prevent further damage and replace any areas where the materials have degraded.
The longer you let organic growth sit on your roof, the more damage it will cause. Catching this issue quickly and addressing it promptly can save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
Light
If you can see light coming through your roof, you’ve got a problem. Where light can enter, so too can water, snow, cold or hot air, and even insects or other unpleasant creatures. Even if it is just a tiny pinhole of light, it is a massive problem for your roof. Have this repaired immediately.
Debris
If you notice debris that looks like it might be part of your roof, you should call a professional. You might see shingles on your lawn or bits of material in your gutters that could have come from your roof materials. Roof debris anywhere is an indication that your roof materials are wearing down. Catch and fix this problem early when you can still address it with roof repairs instead of a total replacement.
Even if there are no apparent issues, an older roof could require repair. When in doubt, get a roofing company to perform a thorough roof inspection. You could save thousands of dollars if they catch a small problem before it compounds. If water begins rotting the rafters or dampening the drywall, things get more complicated and more expensive. Catch issues early with a thorough inspection from an experienced roofing company.
We’d love to help you protect your home by performing an inspection and completing any necessary roof repair work on your house in South Jordan or anywhere around Utah.
To Repair or Not to Repair?
At BigHorn, we understand that a new roof is a significant expense. That’s why we are committed to helping our clients avoid roof replacement whenever possible.
We offer comprehensive roof inspection services. A thorough inspection by a trained, experienced roofing professional can catch problems before they progress enough for homeowners to see the telltale signs of roof issues. Catching a loose shingle early could be the difference between an inexpensive fix and a massive leak. It could even determine whether we can repair your roof or if it needs to be entirely torn off due to damage to the roof deck or underlayment.
Unlike some roof repair companies, we will never push roof replacement when repair will suffice. Yes, a new roof puts more money in the roofer’s pockets. But we are a part of our local community. We aren’t interested in making money at the expense of our Utah neighbors. Our commitment to honest business practices means that when it makes sense to repair an existing roof, that’s what we will do. We will also help you understand your options.
If your old roof is nearing the end of its useful life, we will discuss whether it makes sense to repair or replace it. In some cases, you can repair an older roof in the hopes that the fixes will make it last a few more years. Or you might decide it doesn’t make sense to put money into something on its last legs, so you’ll choose replacement. Either way, the choice is yours. But we will be at your side, answering questions and providing information to help you decide.
And whatever you eventually choose, we have expert teams available to perform the work. If that means repairing your old roof, we’d love to have your business. If you opt to skip repairs and install a new roof, we will be ready to assist.
If you want to understand some of the factors we weigh when deciding whether to recommend repair or replacement, here are some of the things we consider:
The Roof’s Age
Age affects all of us. For people, that might mean your arms are no longer long enough to allow you to read your phone screen. Or your knees buckle, but your belt no longer will. Whatever form it takes, aging happens. Your roof can’t escape this passage of time, either.
The expected life of a roof varies based on the materials used and even the skill of the installers. But most can be expected to last at least 10 to 15 years, if not longer. If your roof is only a few years old and has an issue, it often makes sense to repair it because you can expect to get many more years out of it. On the other hand, when it is 14 years old and showing other signs of aging, it may not seem worth putting money into it just to eke a few more months before it fails completely.
Type of Roof
A slate roof can last a century if properly cared for. Each tile can be individually replaced as needed. That process is not usually very labor intensive. This means that it may make more sense to repair a slate roof than to replace it. If your Salt Lake City roof needs repair, we’ll take the materials into consideration. If it’s a slate roof, it’s likely that repair–not replacement–will be the best course of action, even on a roof that is 30 years old or more.
Asphalt shingles, on the other hand, will usually last 15 to 20 years. For a 30-year-old asphalt roof, spending money on repairs often doesn’t make sense, especially if there is substantial damage. If the money you spend on repairs won’t buy you much additional life, you may be better off spending those dollars on part of the cost of roof replacement.
Extent of the Damage
One loose shingle is usually an easy repair. The material costs are minimal, and the work is quick. That means the costs are low. Repair is likely the most economical choice.
On the other hand, if you’ve called a roof repair company to your West Jordan home for storm damage spread across your entire roof, you will need a large quantity of materials and many hours of labor. Repair could cost almost as much as roof replacement; however, you’ll end up with a shorter life span because some portions of your roof are older.
Extensive damage also makes it more likely that there are hidden problems with your roof deck or other supporting materials. Those may not be visible during repairs but would be revealed during the replacement process. If not found, they could lead to leaks or other problems.
Repair may be a poor decision when significant damage spreads over a large section of your roof. On the other hand, it could be the best decision when there are minor problems in a limited area.
Urgency
Imagine this: your attic is so full of pots and bowls catching leaks that it looks more like a kitchen supply store than a storage space. And another massive storm is set to arrive in a few short days.
You don’t have time for a roof replacement but need something to stem the ongoing damage. Repairs can help your roof survive the inbound weather and give you back the pot you need to cook dinner. They can buy you time.
Even if you know your roof needs replacing, it may make sense to have a roofing repair company make repairs that will get you through until you can schedule the new roof installation.
Spending money on roof repairs can prevent damage to your home’s interior or the structure supporting your roof. In cases where there is an urgent need to address a problem, a repair might be the right solution.
Budget
At BigHorn Roofing, we understand that budget is often a driving factor in home maintenance decisions. You may feel that roof replacement makes the most sense, but you may not have the funds to pay for it. Fortunately, we offer financing options. Financing can be the difference between making the decision you feel is best or spending money to repair a roof that is unlikely to last.
However, if you don’t want to finance a new roof, you may opt for repairs until you can save up for a replacement roof. That’s a perfectly viable option that makes sense for some homeowners. BigHorn Roofing would be happy to help you develop a plan that makes sense for you. We want you to have the sound roof you need immediately, even if that means doing the most needful repairs to buy you more time.
Masters of Residential and Commercial Roofing Repair
Commercial roofing repair is different than its residential counterpart. It would be prohibitively expensive and logistically difficult (if not impossible) to put a pitched roof on a large commercial building. As a result, most commercial buildings have flat roofs. Unfortunately, flat roofs require more upkeep and repair.
This is largely because water can’t run off of flat roofs like it can from pitched roofs. When water pools on a flat roof, it can compromise materials and lead to leaks.
In addition, commercial roofs require different repair techniques. One reason for this is that they are built from different materials than residential roofs. Another reason is that commercial roofs may cover multiple different levels, each with different ventilation systems. This can add layers of complexity to commercial roofing repairs.
You don’t want a residential roofing company that has never touched a commercial roofing project working on your building, but BigHorn has deep experience with the unique needs of commercial roof repair.
The Takeaway
Many elements go into the repair vs. replace decision. We will walk you through all of them and answer as many questions as you need to make the decision that best suits your situation, your roof, and your finances. Rest assured, we will never push you toward roof replacement when repairs make more sense. And we will respect whatever you decide to do about your roof problems. It’s your home; we know it’s your choice.
We understand that roof issues are stressful. No one loves spending their hard-earned money on roof repairs. A vacation, a new table saw, or a wardrobe upgrade all sound far more fun. But as a home or business owner, you can’t always escape roof problems. What you can do is ensure you are working with a roof repair company that is qualified to perform high-quality roof work.
You need someone with experience and a client-focused approach to roofing. And a company that won’t push you toward more costly options when simple repairs will address your issues. No matter the size of your job, BigHorn Roofing is a team you can trust to breathe new life into your aging roof.
