Many different kinds of weather roll through Oklahoma. Many of which can damage your roof, but there are a few different ways you can repair your roof. There’s a difference between repairing your roof and patching it. Which one you select depends on the kind of damage and what you think is best for your home. Bailey’s Roofing and Construction are roof repair experts, so we’re here to help you differentiate between getting your roof repaired and getting it patched. 

Roof Repair

Roof repair is a broad term for two different things. First, there is actual roof repair and then roof replacements which fall under repair as well. 

Replacement is self-explanatory. It’s changing your roof from the old one to a completely new one. 

Roof repair can mean re-roofing the old or damaged parts of your roof. It could also mean small repairs like fixing the roof tile where there are leaks. Re-sealing is another kind of roof repair that might need to be done if you have a flat membrane roof. You should be on the lookout for damage to your roof to determine when repairs are needed. But it’s not just about fixing what’s broken. You should regularly maintain your roof so you can avoid paying for more extensive repairs down the road. 

Your roof goes through a lot protecting your home from damage. Things happen, so you might run into an issue that needs fixing right away. You can fix it yourself first and then have a professional come later to assess it, but it might be pertinent to provide some fix faster than a professional can come out. Bailey’s Roofing and Construction wants to help you with that, so here are some emergency roof repair tips for when fixing the problem just can’t wait!

1. Save On Your Energy Bill

When you repair your roof, you not only keep the structural integrity of your home, you also improve your home’s insulation. This means you enhance the roof’s ability to retain heat during winter and keep your home cool in the summer. It isn’t uncommon for your roof to develop leaks and cracks over time allowing air to escape. When you repair your roof, you reduce the need for constant heating and cooling.

2. Avoiding Health Risks

When you have a roof needing repair, not only is the structural damage a concern, but your health as well. When it comes to an aging roof, it is likely there are leaks or gaps. This allows not only air to escape, but also water and moisture to enter. When moisture is present, especially in Oklahoma, it is the perfect environment for mildew and mold growth. When mold is inhaled it can then cause issues such as allergic reactions, asthma attacks, or even respiratory difficulties. With roof replacement and repair, you can ensure that your home stays dry to avoid these moisture-related health risks.

3. Your Home Value Will Increase

When it comes to roofing repairs, it is an investment. If your roof is repaired or replaced before selling your home, it is likely that you could yield up to 60% return on your investment, increasing your home’s sale price.Our licensed professionals at Bailey’s are readily available to tackle any project.
