Debunking a Common Roofing Misconception
At KNA Roofing, we’ve been serving New York & New Jersey for over 15 years, and during this time, we’ve encountered numerous roofing myths. Today, we’re tackling a prevalent misconception that often leads homeowners astray: the belief that roof replacement is always necessary when issues arise.
The Myth: Replace, Don’t Repair
Many people assume that any roofing problem, no matter how small, requires a complete roof replacement. This misconception can lead to unnecessary expenses and premature replacements.
The Truth: Repairs Can Often Suffice
In reality, many roofing issues can be resolved with targeted repairs, saving you time and money. Here are some situations where repairs may be the better option:
- Isolated leaks
- Minor wind damage
- Small areas of missing shingles
- Flashing issues
When to Consider Replacement
While repairs are often sufficient, there are times when replacement is the best course of action:
- Your roof is nearing the end of its lifespan (typically 20-30 years for asphalt shingles)
- Extensive damage covering a large portion of the roof
- Recurring issues despite multiple repairs
- Desire for improved energy efficiency or aesthetics
