When it comes to a good, reliable roofing system, I can last for decades without needing replacing if it is maintained well over time. However, when a problem does crop up with a roof, it is crucial that it be looked over by a professional. They can determine what the problem is, what the source is, and do the repairs needed to ensure it is as good as new.
Even roofs that do not show signs of a problem need maintenance over time, including things like regular cleaning to remove moss, dirt, and other debris that might accumulate over time. Routine maintenance is also capable of catching problems that might lead to leaks or different types of damages.
Roof repairs are a type of roof restoration that includes things like patching up a portion of the roof or replacing some part of the tiling on the roof. These restorative methods may be used if you have missing or damaged tiles, damage from something falling on the roof, or rusted steel on the roof. A repair team will visit to determine what damage is present, provide you with a quote based on labor and materials used, and do the repair for you.
A true roof restoration involves much more time and energy than a repair would. Essentially, having a roof restored involves cleaning the roof, removing any debris that is present on the roof, and working to bring the roof back to its original structural health and appearance.
There are many things that may be part and parcel of roof restoration, depending on your particular needs. The professionals who do the restoration may need to do pressure washing to clean up the appearance of the roof. The tiles on the roof may require re-bedding for aesthetic and structural reasons. In addition, the roof capping may undergo treatment, and new pointing may be installed.
On top of that, you can expect that damaged steel or tiles will be replaced with shiny new ones, the roof will be re-sealed to avoid any leaks in the future, and the roof will be painted or otherwise colored to look just like the day you got it. Unlike repairs, a full restoration can take multiple days to complete.
