Replace the roof, save yourself headaches and if you carry homeowners insurance, make sure to notify them that you have a new roof you may get a discount or at the very least reduce future increases.OK here is one quote. I'm not ready to pull the trigger at all, but the info can help me figure out if I want to simply repair stuff on the roof, or get a new one.
For recovering the entire roof, the guy wants $10,200. For just the repairs of the spots I showed him (and a couple others he spotted), he wants $1750.
Using the idea that I can get 5 more years out of this roof with just the repairs, that is about as much per year as doing the roof recovery, for 30 years.
So I'm not sure I'll be saving much over the long run, by simply repairing a few spots, and there very well might be leaks that develop over the next five years that also need repairing---which problems wouldn't develop if I were to pay up and get the entire roof done now.
OK, what do you folks think about that?
You can also shop for homeowners insurance from other companies saving you have a new roof, which is a question from every insurance company. You may find you get a much better rate than you pay now.
