Determining the answer is a big decision and can save you thousands of dollars. It is important to not rush into the decision and get advice from an expert. Read about the differences below or contact our roofing contractor to schedule a consultation. ROOF REPAIR Roof repairs are ideal for small problem areas such as a puncture from a fallen branch or a single leak. Because they require fewer materials and time, a roof repair will cost a fraction of the price of a new installation. They are also the best option for newer roofs that still have years of good protection left. ROOF REPLACEMENT Roof replacements should be considered if you have an older roof that is in need of multiple repairs. While a new roof installation may be more expensive upfront, in the long term it can be cheaper than constant repairs. A new roof installation will also provide the most protection for your home.

Most homeowners have encountered roofing problems at some point in their lives but did you know that leaks are the most common? A roof leak is a good example of something that a homeowner should have taken care of immediately – a small leak in a roof can end up costing over $20,000 in repairs for flooring and drywall alone.

If your roof has leaks, it demands immediate attention - and seeking the help of a professional roofing company is your best course of action. Why Leaks Need Immediate Attention Leaks often happen near the chimney, under damaged shingles, at flashing points, around gutters, at skylights, or near pipes/vents. Leaks can cause all sorts of costly and dangerous problems for your home, including water damage, mold and mildew growth, fire hazards, electrical hazards, and even structural deterioration. Constant exposure to water and moisture can deteriorate ceiling joints, rafters, and wall framing When moisture creeps into the electrical wiring of your home it becomes a fire hazard Rotting wood induces the growth of fungal organisms and molds which can find their way into your HVAC system A leaky roof can destroy the insulation in your attic and weakens its resistance to temperature change Signs of Roof Leaks Inside the Home: Dark spots Spots where outside light shines through Sagging Outside the Home: Missing, warped, rotting, peeling, broken, blistering, or buckling shingles Clogged or slow-draining gutters/downspouts Loose material or wear around chimneys or vents Contact Our Roofing Contractors Today You should have your roof regularly inspected by professionals to make sure that leaks do not develop over time.

Why You Need to Hire a Professional Roofing Company There is a certain satisfaction that comes along with working on and completing DIY projects around your home. Some DIY projects can even save you some money! However, you may want to rethink doing it yourself when it comes to a roof related task. The correct equipment, knowledge, and skill is needed for any roofing job so leaving it to a professional is best. Attempting roof work yourself can be dangerous, costly, time consuming, and may not give you the outcome you desire. There are multiple reasons why you should hire a roofing company over completing a roofing task yourself. Experience Roofing companies employ well-trained technicians to complete every job. Whether it is an inspection, repair, or re-roof and installation, a professional has the proper knowledge to get the task done correctly and efficiently. No amount of research can compare to the experience and skills of the experts. Safety Attempting a roofing project yourself can cause you to put yourself in situations that can potentially injure you. One of the most common accidents related to DIY roofing projects are falling, whether it be from the roof or a ladder. To ensure your safety, investing in a professional roofing company is wise. Efficiency A professional has the knowledge to identify and fix any issues with your roofing system. Since roofing contractors work on different types of roofing projects on a daily basis, they are equipped with the materials and skill to get the job done. Embarking on a DIY roofing project can take a ton of time, which can be risky depending on the weather. A professional team is able to get your job done in a timely and efficient manner, allowing you to focus on everything but your roof. Expectations While you may be focused and determined about completing a DIY roofing project yourself, there's a chance that you don't have the skill or know-how for the job. This could mean that your completed job may look a bit sloppy and your roof may not be as reliable. Skilled roofers ensure quality service with outcomes that will exceed your expectations. Cost Generally, the cost of materials will essentially be the same, whether you hire a company or do the work yourself. The difference is though, that a homeowner may lack the knowledge needed to complete the work properly. You may have to re-do a step you already did and use twice as much material or your roofing system may not last as long, costing you more in the long run. If you're located in the Nassau or Suffolk County area and are looking for a reliable, qualified roofing company, choose Arrow Home Improvements. We have the knowledge and experience needed to complete your roof repair, installation, or service professionally. Our quality craftsmanship and superior service aim to exceed your expectations. Contact us today to discuss your roofing needs. Tips for Choosing a Roofing Contractor Before you choose the roofing contractor who will be providing you the roofing service that you need, you should ensure they are the right fit for the job. Here are a few tips for choosing the right roofing contractor. Choose a Local Roofing Contractor This may not seem that important but choosing a local company to provide you with roofing services is a must. A local roofing company will have an established reputation in the area. Homeowners will often have their roof replaced and have an issue with it. Sometimes the company that did the work has moved or is no longer in operation. When you choose an established local roofing company, you can be sure that they will be there to help you before, during, and after your roofing service. Price is Not the Only Factor It may be tempting to work with the company willing to do the work for the lowest price. Sometimes the contractor who offers to do the work at the cheapest price does not have full capabilities when it comes to roofing. Homeowners often end up spending more money if they choose to make a decision solely based on price. Price matters, but it is not the only factor you should consider. Ensure Details Are in Writing The job details are yours and you are the one in control. Make sure that the project is outlined properly and both you and the roofing contractor understand exactly what work needs to be done. Ensure that you are satisfied with the outline prior to beginning the job. Communication If your calls are not being returned or answered, that is not a good sign. Proper communication is an important factor in the process of choosing the right roofing contractor to work with. If the company cannot communicate properly in the preliminary stages of the process, how will they communicate about the work they are doing?

How to Tell if Your Roof Needs Repairs Does your roof need to be repaired? Homeowners may not think about this often, but it is important. Your roof is one of the main components of your house that protects your home from the elements. It can be beneficial to check for the following signs of roof damage on a regular basis. Cracked, Curled, or Broken Shingles It is a very telling sign when your shingles are curling or are cracked. If you notice your shingles are broken or even missing, you may be due for roof replacement services. Rely on a professional roofing company to do your roof repairs to ensure no further problems arise. General Wear & Tear Roofs can wear down over time. A roof will traditionally last around 20 years so if your roof is older than this, it may be time to replace it. When you need a roofing company to give you a reliable roof installation, rely on the pros at Arrow Home Improvements. Leaks This is a common sign that your roof needs to be repaired or you need a roof replacement. If your roof has leaks and is allowing water into your home, this can cause major damage. The water can cause staining on interior walls or ceilings if it gets through. Don’t let this happen. At first sight of a leak, call our roofing company to evaluate the situation. Energy Costs Your roof plays a crucial role in insulating your home. If your roof has deficiencies or is in bad shape, it is possible that it is allowing the cool or warm air that you intend to keep in, to get out. This can lead to higher energy costs as your HVAC systems will work harder to try to keep your home comfortable for you. If you notice any of these signs, give Arrow Home Improvements a call! We are ready to evaluate your home and to provide you with quality roof repair. Contact our roofing company today to learn more about how we can help you!
