The roof of your house or building can undergo serious damage, weathering, disintegration, or malfunctioning at any point throughout its lifetime. These things may be prevented or even taken care of with roof repair and similar projects. Sometimes, however, repair will not be enough and you will need a new roof entirely.

The first signs of roof failure appear in the buildings interior - flaking paint, ceiling stains, discoloration, and peeling wall-paper are all clear signs. Causes like small holes can be patched up, while cracks in shingles cannot be. Whatever the cause, never wait; hire a professional to determine how much the repair and treatment costs will be, and how long your roof will live once complete. If it does not exceed the cost of a new roof, and will survive at least its original life cycle, then repair. If not, install a new roof.

If the damaged area can be repaired Kelly Roofing will provide a quote for repair. We guarantee all of our work for one year. If the roof is close to needing replacement we will also provide a price for replacement, including all roof system options. Our Project Managers provide full Certified Roof Inspections, free of charge, on request so you know exactly what to expect from your roof.

Every kind of roofing material requires different levels of maintenance and care. While some, such as shingles, require annual and semi-annual inspections and treatment, others, such as PVC roofing, require next to no maintenance at all. Knowing about the material covering your roof will help you in deciding whether or not it is worth repairing or replacing it, and give you an idea of your expected new roof cost versus repair, and new roof costs versus maintenance of existing.

Most of your decision is based on the age of your existing roof, which should be checked once a year in all cases.

The main idea here is that you invest in your roof. Don't repair it if the life cycle is ending, or of it exceeds the new roof cost. Install a new roof when repairs are insufficient, and when it is financially more worthwhile.


Many roof repairs are necessitated by falling trees, high winds and other fits of Mother Nature.


Just because your roof has never leaked before does not mean the original installation went smoothly. In fact, roofs most commonly fail because some aspect of the original installation was done poorly. Problems caused by poor installation often don't show up for five to ten years. By the time there's a leak, the home has changed hands or the homeowner has no longer has any recollection of who installed the roof. Then there are the lucky few homeowners whose roofs fail simply because the materials have surpassed their useful life. If your roof is starting to leak and is 15 years old or older, there is a good chance that you'll need a new roof soon.
