Roof Repairable Or Replaced- Retex Roofing & Exteriors

Katelyn Lewis • February 7, 2023

Is your roof repairable or does it need to be replaced?


If you're unsure, it's best to have a professional roof contractor assess the condition of your roof.

Roof Repairable Or Does It Need

When you set up an appointment with Retex, our exterior experts take into consideration the age of your roof, the type of damage, and the extent of the damage to make a recommendation.


Here are some common signs that a roof may need to be replaced:


Age: Not everyone knows the age of their roof, but you may have a sense of if it's 5, 10, 15, or 20 years old. If your roof is more than 20 years old, it may be reaching the end of its life span.


Sagging: Sagging in the middle of the roof can indicate a structurally unsound roof that needs to be replaced.


Missing or cracked shingles: Loose or broken shingles can allow water to enter your home, leading to further damage.


Leaks: If you have an active leak, it's important to have it assessed by a professional to determine the extent of the damage and whether a repair or replacement is necessary.


Granules in gutters: If you notice granules from your shingles in your gutters, this can indicate that your shingles are reaching the end of their lifespan and may need to be replaced.


If you're still unsure whether your roof is repairable or needs to be replaced, call Retex at 804-258-6300 to schedule a complimentary appointment and give yourself   peace of mind today.
