If you have an older roof, it stands to reason that you should have a budget ready for possible roof repairs, until such time that you might be able to replace it. Since a roof replacement can be extremely expensive, getting your roof repaired is the next best thing. But you have to be sure that you can be prepared for the worst.
Roof repairs normally don’t cost so much. Most reputable Denver roofing companies will only charge you a few hundred dollars to fix a few leaks and replace a few shingles. If they have to work on the flashing and go deeper, to solve decking and underlayment problems, they might charge you a little more, but the overall amount shouldn’t exceed a couple of thousand dollars, even as a worst case scenario.
Nevertheless, while this might be the case most of the time, it’s a good idea not only to maintain a roof repair budget that is at least $1,000 higher than that amount, but also to change your insurance policy to one that favors roof repairs. As a result, you’ll be covered whenever a stronger storm blows past, and you’d normally have to dish out a lot of money just to get some of those older shingles replaced with brand new ones.
