Roofing Repair and Replacement in Gladstone, OR

You might not know whether to repair or completely replace the roof without an expert looking at it. So the first thing to do is have an inspection done. Some roofs you may be able to just repair and extend their life. 

​Do you see any missing shingles, punctures or holes?
These are issues that you'll need to take care of, so you don't end up with leaks.
When you are just repairing a part of your roof you're only fixing a small part of it, but if you're replacing it you're replacing the entire area you can see. When roofs are replaced, everything is stripped off to expose the deck. Some repairs may have to be done to the deck, before the new roof can be put on. Depending on how much needs to be fixed or replaced, and where you live, you may need a building permit.
After a contractor looks at your roof they can decide if it needs to be repaired or replaced.
When the roof needs to be replaced, the old roofing is removed, and the deck is inspected to see if there are further repairs needed.
Once these repairs are done, the deck is prepared, and the new roof is put on.

if it is not too cold, and not raining.
Roofs cannot be repaired in the rain, because it's important that the underlying structure stays dry.
