Are you considering a roof replacement for your home or business? If you are like many, you are probably trying to put the investment off as long as possible.


At Cribbs Inc Roofing and Sheet Metal, we want to provide you with two critical reasons why you may NOT want to delay in your new roof replacement.



Reason #1: Roof Leaks


Obviously, the Baton Rouge Roofing risk of waiting too long is the costly and headache causing roof leaks! Our expert team has witnessed a vast variety of roof cases while roofing Baton Rouge. Unfortunately, we have observed way too many instances where the homeowner or business owner has waited too long. In these cases, the roof owners have to replace more than just the roof. Therefore, the expenses and the frustration level for the owner increase dramatically.


At Cribbs Inc Roofing and Sheet metal, we are really want to encourage our clients to not delay too long. We want to keep both your expenses and your frustration to a minimum.


If you're not sure how long you should wait, contact one of our Baton Rouge Roofing experts. Additionally, you can read our article on the common mistakes to avoid when analyzing the condition of your roof. Repairing roof leaks is expensive...you'll likely have to repair damaged plywood, insulation, drywall, paint, electrical equipment, hard wood floors, carpet and more. So prevent them instead, be proactive, and make sure problems are taken care of before they cause damage.



Reason #2: Structural Damage to your home


This may be a surprise to you, but a roof can leak for years without any trace of water in your house. Did you know that?

For example: a leak near the edge of your roof can go un-noticed nearly forever, that is until you see the mould spores poke through your living room wall.


By the time you discover the mould, it will be an expensive fix. Also, tiny leaks in your attic can be absorbed into your homes wooden structure before it ever reaches the interior. Leaks like these can sneak around unnoticed, causing major damage.

So, why pay more for roof repairs when it is not necessary. Be proactive about your roof. Please do not wait until there is a problem, because it may be too late.
