What is the difference between roof repair and restoration


Roof repair and restoration are two different processes that can be used to maintain or improve the condition of a roof. Repair is a more localized process that focuses on fixing specific problems, while restoration is a more comprehensive process that aims to renew the entire roof.

Roof Repair

Roof repair is typically used to fix specific problems, such as:

  • Leaks: Leaks can be caused by a variety of factors, including damaged shingles, flashing, or gutters.
  • Missing or damaged tiles: Tiles can be damaged by wind, hail, or other weather events.
  • Loose or cracked flashing: Flashing is a metal or plastic component that helps to seal the roof and prevent water damage.

Roof repair is typically a relatively quick and inexpensive process. However, if the damage is extensive, it may be necessary to replace the entire roof.

Roof Restoration

Roof restoration is a more comprehensive process that aims to renew the entire roof. This may involve:

  • Cleaning: The roof is cleaned to remove debris and dirt.
  • Repairing: Any damage to the roof is repaired.
  • Sealing: The roof is sealed to protect it from water damage.
  • Resurfacing: The roof is resurfaced with a new coating, such as asphalt shingles or metal.

Roof restoration is typically a more time-consuming and expensive process than roof repair. However, it can extend the life of the roof and improve its appearance.
