Being a homeowner is a full-time job.\u00a0 Not only do you have to be concerned about the financial end \u2013 making those mortgage payments in a timely way \u2013 but there\u2019s a constant stream of maintenance needs that must be addressed.<\/p>\n
Some home repairs can put off indefinitely. Others \u2013 like a leaky roof \u2013 demand immediate attention. If you neglect roof leaks, they can lead to severe water damage that can seriously drain your savings account.<\/p>\n
Some of us are handy.\u00a0 Others not so much. If you can\u2019t locate the leak yourself, a licensed roofing contractor can perform an inspection and make recommendations about whether repair or replacement is needed. Consumer Reports<\/a> warns, even if you\u2019re able to locate a leak on your own, you’ll want to leave the repair job to a pro. Climbing onto your roof with a tall extension ladder is a dangerous job.<\/p>\n Most leaks can be stopped if they’re limited to a few spots. If, however, you\u2019re experiencing recurring leaks, and your roof is out of warranty, it may be time for a new roof. The money you would spend on multiple short-term fixes is probably better applied to a brand-new roof with a lengthy warranty.<\/p>\n Another tip: Before you hire anyone to work on your roof, call your homeowner\u2019s insurance company to check your deductible and coverage for roof repairs or replacement. You’ll want to weigh your out-of-pocket costs against the cost of replacing your roof entirely. Consider any resulting increase in your premium as well\u2014it may make more sense to simply cover the cost yourself.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Need a roof inspection?\u00a0Contact<\/a>\u00a0the roofing experts at\u00a0Garrett Construction and Roofing<\/a>.\u00a0 We are Haag-Certified roofing inspectors and will inspect your roof for FREE to determine whether it was installed properly.
