Q: Can soft spots be repaired, or is roof replacement necessary?

• <div><p>Individual soft spots can often be repaired if they&rsquo;re caught early enough and the damage isn&rsquo;t extensive. If soft spots cover a large portion of the roof or the roof sheathing is in poor condition, you&rsquo;ll probably need to replace your roof to preserve its structural integrity.</p></div>

Q: Can roof cleaning prevent the need for repairs?

• <div><p>Yes, cleaning removes harmful elements that contribute to rot or degradation, extending the roof's lifespan and averting costly future repairs.</p></div>

Q: How much damage does a roof need to be replaced?

• <div><p>In general, you should consider <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-roof-replacement-cost.htm">replacing your roof</a> if more than 30% of it is damaged. This includes several missing shingles, large spots of granule loss, extreme curling or cracking, structural damage to the roof's decking, or multiple areas of leaks. All of these issues could indicate compromised structural integrity that requires roof replacement. </p></div>

Q: Does roof overhang count as square footage?

• <div><p>The roof overhang, also known as the eaves, does count as part of the roof&rsquo;s square footage because it must be covered with the roofing material. The overhang is one of the reasons why you can&rsquo;t base your roof's square footage on the square footage of the house. The roof square footage must also account for the pitch of the roof as well as the eaves.</p></div>

Q: What happens if roof tiles fall off?

• <div><p>Underlayment exists under your tile roof. It helps protect your home by acting as a secondary water barrier. Often, when roof tiles fall off, underlayment that's in good condition can temporarily keep water from getting into the home. However, immediate replacement of missing tiles is crucial to avoid additional roof damage. </p></div>
