If you suspect that the roof of your home in Dunedin has sprung a leak but is basically in good condition, roof repair might be an option. It's an alternative to roof replacement. . Without a roof, you might as well be sitting outside. The roof is the protector of your entire house! A roof on top of a house is like an umbrella over your head....if the umbrella has holes, you will get wet when it rains and if there are holes in the house's roof, everything inside your home will be rained upon.
Trying to repair a roof is tricky. Yes, discolored ceilings and walls alert you to the fact that you have a leaky roof but more often than not, the leak may be coming from a different part of the roof than where you see the inside damage. Water gets diverted from one area to another. In order to get to the root of the problem, shingles/tiles have to be removed so the deck can be inspected for water damage. If the deck consists of wood and has mold or mildew or is rotted out, the wood has to be replaced before new shingles are installed. The most common roof repairs are: replacing damaged shingles, gluing down curled up shingles and repairing cracked shingles.
The cost of roof repair often depends on where you live. If you live in Dunedin, the price will probably be different than other areas. Most towns require a permit for a contractor to do a roof repair. The price for pulling the permit will be added in with roofing materials and labor.
