Repair Vs. Replacement - Your Roofing Solution

To start, you can conduct a visual inspection from the ground. Be safe when inspecting your roof—We suggest viewing your roof from a window inside the house or use binoculars from the ground. If in doubt, don’t hesitate, call a professional roofing contractor. Look for signs of aging such as cracks or loose shingles. Your flashing boot should be intact.
