Where can I get some?

Determining whether your roof needs a repair or full replacement depends on several factors. Here’s how you can assess its condition:

1- Age of the Roof

Roof Age: Most roofs last 20-30 years, depending on the materials used. If your roof is nearing this range, a replacement may be more cost-effective than frequent repairs.

2- Shingle Condition

Damaged or Missing Shingles: If only a few shingles are cracked, curled, or missing, repairs can be sufficient. However, widespread damage suggests a replacement is necessary.

Granule Loss: If you notice significant granule loss from shingles (seen in gutters or around the house), this can indicate the shingles are at the end of their life.

3- Leaks and Water Damage

Frequent Leaks: A few isolated leaks might be fixable with repairs, but persistent or widespread leaks could point to underlying structural issues, requiring a replacement.

4- Sagging Roof

Structural Sagging: If the roof deck or structure appears to sag, it often means there is a deeper problem with the foundation, and a replacement will likely be required.

5- Roof Valleys

Compromised Valleys: Roof valleys (where two slopes meet) are critical for proper drainage. If these areas are damaged, water could seep in, signaling the need for a replacement.
