Are you ignoring potential roofing issues, hoping they’ll just go away? Well, don’t wait.
Your roof is the most expensive maintenance item on your home, and it's often the area that homeowners avoid. While a roof maintenance project may be unexpected, for many homeowners getting a new roof paid for by insurance is actually a blessing in disguise and will increase the value of your home.
PRQ Exteriors are experts in Colorado specializing in roof repairs, restoration and replacement due to hail storms and wind. Hail hits damage the outer layer of the shingle, called the granule layer; in addition to causing cosmetic damage to gutters, vents, and fences.
Very often, damage from hail is not going to cause a water leak or any noticeable symptoms on the inside of your home. Yet, six to ten hail hits within a ten by ten foot square can substantially affect the life and performance of your roof.
How Long Can I Wait to Call a Roofing Professional?
When it comes to roof damage, procrastination is not your friend. But how long can you really afford to wait before repairing a damaged roof? The answer depends on several factors, such as the extent of the damage, the age of the roof, upcoming weather or seasonality. Regardless, waiting too long to address roofing issues after you know there is an issue can lead to substantial cost increases down the road.
Several Reasons You Shouldn’t Wait To Address Hail Damage On Your Roof
Delaying making a roofing repair could be a costly mistake. We’ve seen minor issues escalate into major problems requiring more expensive repairs, and in some cases, a complete roof replacement becomes necessary. Here are several reasons why you shouldn’t wait for roofing repairs and why taking action urgently is crucial.
1) Waiting Could Result in Further Damage
As the granule layer breaks down, the shingle becomes more exposed, which causes it to dry out and become brittle, accelerating future wear and tear, and shortening the overall life of your roof.
So, at some point after sustaining hail damage the homeowner is going to need to replace your roof.
2) Hail Damage Voids Your Warranties
When hail damages a roof, this almost always voids any warranties from the manufacturer and contractor.
So at that point, the financial burden of replacing the roof is going to be completely on the homeowner.
3) Are You Considering Selling The Home
If you are considering selling the home in the next few years, the first place the buyer's home inspector is going to look will be the roof. And, hail damage sustained years before and left unaddressed will become very expensive.
In most of these situations the buyer is going to require the seller to either: replace the roof at their own expense, or reduce the sale price of the home by the equivalent amount.
4) Statue of Limitations
If you sustained damage from a hail storm in the past nine to twelve months, homeowners' insurance policies have a statute of limitation on filing claims for storm damage.
Most homeowners would agree that the cost of their deductible, while unexpected, is going to be far less than shouldering the full replacement cost of a new roof.
So don't wait.
