Types Of Roof Repairs For Residential Homes

Residential homes can typically benefit from 3 main types of roof repairs: shingle patching, asphalt shingle replacement, and valley flashing replacement. Let’s take a look at each one of them:

Shingle Patching

For roof repairs, shingle patching is the least complicated roof repair to make. It requires no roof tear-off; only roof-deck removal and roof shingle replacement, if necessary. Shingle patching means that you are repairing a small section of your roof where shingles have blown off during heavy wind conditions due to missing roof decking overhangs. 

Asphalt Shingle Replacement

Another roof repair requires roof tear-off and roof shingle replacement. Asphalt shingle roof replacements are typically required when you have a large section of your roof that needs to be replaced because of damage, age, or wear. When you decide to replace the roof shingles on your roof, to keep costs down, you will want to replace the roof with roof shingles of the same style and color.

Valley Flashing Replacement

Roof valley flashing replacements are required when roof valleys (the area where two roof sections meet at the eaves) become worn or rusted out due to poor roof construction practices during the initial installation of your roof. The valley flashing replacement restores the roof valley to its original construction intent of keeping water away from your roof. Roof valley flashing replacements are typically required when you have roof problems associated with roof leaks, roof ice dams, roof ponding, roof moss growth, roof sidings blowing off in high wind conditions due to missing roof shingles over valleys, and poor roof ventilation.
