Roof Restoration

If your roof is showing signs of wear and aging to the point of frequent repairs, you might not need to invest in a full replacement. Reed Roofing can inspect your system and determine if restoration will solve the issues you’re experiencing, reinforce vulnerable areas, and extend the lifespan of your existing roof.

Our roof restoration process can be tailored to the condition and material of your roof. We address surface damage, seal problem areas, and apply protective coatings that help resist future wear.

What Are Signs You Need Roof Restoration Services?

Roof restoration doesn’t apply to isolated damage. It’s a comprehensive service that reinforces aging materials and improves overall durability. It’s typically the next step when your roof is structurally sound but showing widespread signs of decline, or specifically if certain parts were compromised in a storm.

One of the clearest signs you need this service is recurring leaks in different areas. When problems keep cropping up, individual repairs become temporary fixes. Restoration targets the roof as a whole, solving the underlying issues that patchwork can’t.

Here are some other notable indicators:

  • Cracked or brittle shingles
  • Loose or lifting roofing material
  • Sagging areas in the roofline
  • Water pooling on flat roof surfaces

If you’re noticing any of these signs, it’s a good idea to act sooner rather than later.

Why Is There Pondering Water on Your Flat Roof?

Ponding water on flat roofs is a common issue our roof restoration team encounters, and it usually points to a problem with drainage or structural design. Flat roofs need a slight slope to guide water toward drains, but if your roof was installed without the proper pitch or if your drains are clogged or poorly placed, water can start to collect in low spots. We often find that debris buildup, blocked scuppers, and inadequate drainage are at the root of the problem. Over time, this standing water can damage your roofing material, weaken seams, and eventually lead to leaks inside your building.

In some situations, your roof surface may have deteriorated or sagged due to age, weather exposure, or shifting in your building’s structure. Equipment like HVAC units can also obstruct water flow if they’re not installed with drainage in mind.

When our team restores your roof, we carefully assess what’s causing the ponding, make any needed structural or drainage corrections, and apply high-quality, water-resistant materials to protect your property.

Reed Roofing: Complete Restoration for Your Roof System

Our experienced team offers complete restoration to ensure performance across every layer of your roof.

This includes:

  • Application of protective coatings or membranes
  • Reinforcement of structural components if needed
  • Final testing for leaks and system performance

Why Are Roof Coatings a Game-Changer for Roofing Systems?

Roof coatings are a game-changer for roofing systems because they provide a protective barrier that extends the life of your existing roof. Instead of tearing off and replacing the entire system, a high-quality coating can restore performance, seal small cracks, and improve water resistance. This makes coatings a smart and cost-effective solution for both newer and aging roofs showing early signs of wear.

Another major advantage of roof coatings is their energy efficiency. Many coatings are reflective, meaning they bounce sunlight away from the building and reduce heat absorption. This can lower indoor temperatures and help cut down on energy bills, especially during the summer months. It’s a simple upgrade that brings real savings and comfort.

Why Do You Need a Roof Inspection Before Restoration?

A roof inspection is the starting point for any restoration project. Without one, you can’t realistically know what the best solution for your system is, even if the damage is clear.

During the inspection, we look for hidden damage, assess wear beneath the surface, and determine if repairs alone will hold. We can also look for moisture issues, compromised flashing, and ventilation quality. Then, we create a plan that addresses the entire system.

What Roof Materials Are Suitable for Restoration?

Roof materials can influence the course and approach of the restoration. Different materials age and react to stress differently, and what affects one material might not affect the other under the same conditions.

For example, shingle roofs may need section replacement and resealing, while tile roofs often require resetting loose tiles and repairing the underlayment. Each material has its own restoration path. We can adapt the process to match your roofing material.

Will Older Rooftops Benefit from Roof Restoration?

Older rooftops often benefit from roof restoration services. As your roof ages, it naturally begins to show signs of wear like surface cracks, fading, and areas of ponding water. Restoration allows us to repair these issues, improve drainage, and reinforce your roof without the cost and disruption of a full replacement.

If your roof is still structurally sound, restoration can significantly extend its lifespan. Our team applies durable, weather-resistant materials to seal and protect the existing surface, helping prevent future leaks and damage. It’s a smart, cost-effective way to get more years out of your aging roof.

Does Insurance Cover Storm Damage Restoration for Rooftops?

Storm damage caused by hail, strong winds, or flying debris is often considered a valid reason for a property insurance claim. If the damage affects the roof’s function or causes leaks, your insurance provider may cover the cost of restoration. Documentation, inspections, and a clear understanding of the policy terms are essential in this process.

However, not all restoration work qualifies for insurance coverage. Most policies exclude damage that results from long-term wear, aging, or neglect. Restoration intended to upgrade or maintain an older roof without storm-related damage may be considered a property owner’s responsibility.
