Roof Repair vs. Replacement: How to Decide

Most roofs do not need to be replaced, they just need the right repair. But sometimes a replacement genuinely is the smarter spend. Here is how we tell.

Repair usually makes sense when

  • The roof is relatively young (under 15 years).
  • The damage is limited to one area.
  • The decking underneath is still sound.

Replacement is the honest call when

  • The roof is near the end of its life.
  • There are leaks in several spots.
  • A storm damaged shingles across the whole slope.

Our free, photo-documented inspection tells you which, with no pressure either way.
