Sacramento Roof Repair: What to Fix First?The Yancey Family, Serving Sacramento Since 1888

Keeping a house comes with several responsibilities, as we’re sure you know. It’s just part of the bargain. However, what happens when there’s too much to fix? Roof damage can cost a lot to repair, and if there are several, how do you decide which damage to fix first?

Everything will go smoothly if fixing one problem means fixing them all. However, if money and time are issues, you may need to choose. Here are a few tips that can help you in deciding which roof problem to fix first:

Ask for professional advice.
Ask the advice of a professional Sacramento roof repair contractor. A professional can inspect your roof and give you a realistic picture of its current condition. More than that, you can ask your contractor which damages need urgent attention and those that can wait a bit more. You can also ask for alternative solutions; sometimes a replacement is more cost-effective than minor but frequent repairs.

Fix structural problems first.
Roof damage can be classified as structural or cosmetic problems. Structural damage refers to problems that can impair your roof’s ability to protect your home. Weakened trusses, severe leaks, and saturated roof decks are some examples that need immediate repair. Cosmetic problems like algae growth, streaks, and missing shingles can be postponed temporarily.

Hit two birds with one stone.
If there are fixes that can solve two or more problems, do it. This way, you only need to pay for one service but solve more problems than one. Get with your contractor to discuss your options and which repairs should be prioritized.

These are just some of the many tips a professional Sacramento roof repair service can give you. Call us for more roofing tips and we’ll help you sort out your roof repair issues.

“I need a total bathroom remodel, and everyone at Yancey has been a delight to work with. All my questions have been answered, the choices of materials were abundant, and Scott guided us expertly through the process one step at a time. I would highly recommend them!”

Laura Powell

“Yancey was awesome to work with. My estimator was Brian Speaks, and he made the entire experience simple and enjoyable for us. There was no high pressure sales, and Brian went out of his way to make sure we got exactly what we wanted and needed. His pricing was fair, and he helped us get financing right on the spot. If I would provide more than 5 stars, I would.”

Ryan Calderwood

“Tommy was very helpful in explaining the roofing process and itemizing the pricing. He was upfront and honest about policy and interpreting the contract for my mother and I. We are a house full of women and we are always worried about being taken advantage of price-wise but we were not treated that way. Thank you for the excellent service and stunning new roof!”

Caroline H

“I chose Yancey for my reroof because of their business longevity. They've run into every situation imaginable and Brian addressed these concerns in the contract. Being told in advance is an explanation, being told after the fact is an excuse. They gave no excuses. The team working was always on time and did exceptional quality work with dry rot repair. The roof looks great and I expect it to work well for years to come.”
