It might be a cliché, but the old saying of “a stitch in time saves nine” comes to mind when it comes to roofs (although in this case we would substitute “tile” for “stitch”). Repairing your roof when it first shows signs of problems rather than waiting until the issue causes real damage can save you many thousands of dollars. It can avoid or delay the need for a more complete roof restoration. Regular maintenance of your roof will detect problems even before you become aware of them, and is the best way to avoid the need for more extensive and costly roof repairs in the future.
When a Vertex Roofing specialist inspects your roof, we will give you an honest assessment and offer you expert advice as to the work your roof needs. This is based solely on the best and most economical outcome for you – and of course, on your preferences. We do not up-sell – we simply give you a detailed explanation of our findings and your options.
There is a tipping point at which it makes better economical sense to you in the long run to undertake a more complete roof restoration rather than just repairing problem areas in a roof that is already old and showing significant signs of deterioration or widespread damage. However, your roof may not be at that stage, and our roof inspection will determine that a complete roof restoration isn’t necessary. Your roof may be in generally good condition, with just a simple issue that needs repair, such as a localised problem that has caused a small leak.
We are happy to undertake any repairs that your roof needs. We have worked on anything from a completely new roof for a 60-square mansion to fixing a small leak caused by a single cracked tile! The important thing is to get any issues repaired as soon as possible, so they don’t cause further (and more expensive!) damage. We offer a fast response and on-the-spot repairs for minor problems when it is possible.
