Various roof maintenance options can have radically different outcomes. Typical options include:
- Do nothing. No action or expense is required. Outcome: deck (metal, wood, etc) corrodes and an expensive re-roof is necessary.
- Repair roof with patches. A roofing contractor is called and goes up on the roof with a bucket of tar, or the equivalent. Outcome: leak is initially stopped, but now water accumulates in a new area so every year more patching is necessary, deck eventually corrodes and an expensive re-roof is again required.
- Restore. The old roofing material is renewed. Re-coating a metal roof is analogous to putting new roof tiles or shingles on a conventional roof. Outcome: leaks are stopped, deck is protected for the life of the coating, tile, or shingle.
The interested reader is referred to systems such as
Iron Sentry for restoring of metal, built up, or single ply roofs
MCA for clay roof tiles, and
Elk for shingles.
