Roof Repair 101
We all know that a damaged roof is a bad thing, but how bad is it? Well, if you ignore a damaged roof, things can get really bad, really quick. From leaks that affect your ceiling, walls, flooring, electronics and furnishings to the loss of energy efficiency, a hole in the roof can quickly turn into a hole in your wallet. However, the good news is that many insurance policies cover roof repair.

- How to know when your roof is damaged
- When is it time to replace versus repair my roof?
Insurance coverage In fact, most insurance policies cover roof replacement if the damage is the result of an act of nature or a sudden accidental event. However, most policies won’t pay to replace or repair a roof that’s gradually deteriorating due to wear and tear or neglect, and roofs that are over 20 years old often have limited coverage, if any. Therefore, it’s advisable to keep records of repairs, before-and-after photos, and reports from inspections. Also, make sure to notify your insurance company ASAP when damage occurs.

How to know when your roof is damaged Sometimes it’s obvious. You may see shingles missing or strewn about your property. Or you may notice a leak in your ceiling. However, there are times when it may be hard to tell at first since leaks may not always be visible right away. And sometimes rainwater that gets inside a bad roof can flow far away from where the damage occurred, raising questions about the source of the problem. In these cases, it’s best to call a professional and let them examine your roof.

When is it time to replace versus repair my roof? The answer largely depends on what type of roof you have – and how long you’ve had it.
- Asphalt shingle roofs last between 20 and 25 years.
- Metal roofs can last 50 to 100 years or longer under normal wear and tear, depending on the specific material, before needing a replacement. Copper and zinc metal roofs are especially long-lasting.
- Cement or clay tile roofs also last between 50 to 100 years under typical conditions.
- Slate tile roofs have an average lifespan of 100 years.
- Wood shake and shingles require routine maintenance and last 25 to 40 years.
