Sometimes it makes more sense to replace a roof rather than repair one section. The R4 Roofing team will inspect your roof to get a clear picture of the issues and then give you an honest assessment of which road to take: repair or replacement.

Replacing a roof isn’t as much of a burden as you might think. Our Phoenix roof contractors can replace your building’s roof with minimal intrusion on day-to-day activities.

When considering whether to repair or replace your roof, ask yourself about the age of your roof. Most roofs in the valley can last 15, 20, even 25 years with regular maintenance, quality materials, and expert installation.

But if your roof is more than 15 years old and hasn’t undergone regular maintenance, it might be more cost-effective to replace it than attempt costly repairs. Our professional contractors can help determine whether your roof needs to be repaired or replaced as well as the cost of any new builds, without any sales tricks or hidden fees.

If you’re not sure of the age of your roof and whether it needs to be repaired or replaced, check the following:

• Signs of visible wear and tear like cracked or missing shingles or tile, curled or buckled shingles, or clear and obvious wearing in the material.
• Signs of visible sagging, which could mean a deeper structural issue within your roof that will need to be repaired before replacing your tile or shingles.
• After it rains, go into the attic and look for water damage, hail damage or leaks, as well as places sunlight comes through where it shouldn’t.

If you notice any of these issues with your roof, it’s time to call a professional roofing contractor from R4 Roofing to come to look at it to determine the best course of action.

Several factors determine the cost of a new roof, including the number of materials needed. Low slope roofs technically have lower material costs due to the smaller surface area. Still, these roofs typically require more maintenance and repair than sloped roofs, which increases their lifetime costs.

Other factors to consider include construction time and roof design. R4 Roofing will examine all these factors with you to determine the best course of action to fit your needs, budget and timeline.

If you’re having roof issues, it’s critical to understand what kind of coverage your insurance or warranty offers. Reputable roofers such as R4 Roofing provide both a manufacturer’s and labor warranty on their roofs.

The manufacturer’s warranty covers the materials used to build your roof, while the labor warranty covers the installation. Don’t work with roofers who can’t offer these warranties.
