Reparing or replace a roof, in VictoriavilleRepair or re-roof. Are you wondering if you should just repair the roof or if it would be better to re-roof the whole thing? Are you even sure that the time to ask yourself this question has really come? Answers are provided in this article.
Assess the damage
Where to start? By assessing the degree of degradation. But how do you do that? First, identify the areas of your roof that are deteriorated. Then, is it a percentage of the surface (and which one) or are there limited areas everywhere? Finally, what are the causes of the deterioration? A reconnaissance examination is intended to determine such a picture of the situation.

Roof repair: When is it a good option?
One-off damage
If a specific situation has occurred that has caused a breakage, it is probably a matter of repair. For example, if a branch has damaged some shingles or winds have blown them off. So when an area is affected, you repair.
However, if you repeatedly have to repair a given section, there may be a deeper but unseen problem. In such a case, we at Toiture Victoriaville can help you by going to assess the situation. We will then be able to determine the causes and the degree of seriousness.
Too late or too early in the season to install a new roof
Our temperatures are variable in Quebec. This complicates the work schedule of roofing installers. Winter and early spring are not good times, because the weather is not favorable. Nevertheless, infiltrations or particular breaks can occur without warning even during these periods. Therefore, it is important to proceed with emergency repairs that ensure the transition until the complete repair can be done.
Repair for financial reasons
Sometimes, the finances may not be there right away when it comes to changing a roof. So, it's best to make smaller repairs to avoid aggravation by the time it's possible.
