How Do You Know It’s Time to Re-Roof?
Common signs your roof may need replacing:
-
Rusting sheets or visible corrosion
-
Loose or lifting roof panels
-
Persistent leaks
-
Failing flashings
-
Water stains on ceilings
-
Roof over 20–30 years old
-
Storm or wind damage
If you’re unsure, a professional inspection can quickly determine whether repairs or full replacement is the smarter long-term investment.
Repair vs Re-Roof — What’s More Cost-Effective?
While minor issues can sometimes be repaired, repeated patchwork often becomes more expensive than replacing the roof properly.
A full re-roof:
-
Improves weather protection
-
Increases property value
-
Reduces ongoing maintenance
-
Enhances street appeal
-
Allows for insulation upgrades
Most homeowners choose modern Colorbond® steel roofing for durability, performance and street appeal.
