Storms and aging can cause you to need to fix roof problems. Various roofing material have warranties for how long they should last, from 15 to 30 years. As your roof ages, shingles can dry up and become brittle. They then become more susceptible to wind and storm damage. Even tree branches rubbing against your roof, or falling on your roof can damage old, dry shingles. Then when more storms come, there are less layers of roofing materials protecting your house, and water can leak in past those broken shingles to damage your roof decking and much more. This means you may need roof repair or even a whole new roof.
Call family and friends to find several contractors to inspect your roof and give you quotes on the repairs needed. Make sure they are all including the same number of repairs Check the contractors out with the Better Business Bureau, and verify they are licensed, bonded, and insured. If your roof damage was caused by a storm, call your insurance company to have an adjuster inspect the damage. Your policy may cover the repairs. On an older roof, if the damage is extensive, it may even be a better to replace the roof.
Once you get back the quotes, choose the roofing company that made you feel most comfortable with there knowledge and was able to answer all your questions with confidence. The company giving you the cheapest quote may be cutting corners to try to get the job, or overlooking something, or using lower quality materials. When you fix roof problems, you extend your roof life.
