ROOF REPAIR VS. ROOF REPLACEMENT

Hey there! Here’s what you need to know when deciding if you need a roof repair or replacement!

When your roof starts showing signs of wear and tear, it can be difficult to decide whether to repair or replace it entirely. The right choice depends on the roof's age, condition, and the extent of the damage. To help you make an informed decision, here’s a quick guide:

REPAIR

Minor Damage: If you have a small issue, such as a few missing or cracked shingles, a repair might be all you need. These issues are typically easy to fix and don’t require a full replacement.

No Structural Problems: If your roof is still in generally good shape and you don’t see any underlying structural issues (such as sagging or extensive leaks inside your home), repairs are often the more cost-effective solution.

Localized Leaks: If there are only a few isolated leaks or small areas of concern, you can often repair these spots without needing to replace the entire roof.

REPLACE

Age of the Roof: If your roof is over 20 years old, it may be nearing the end of its lifespan. Even if it’s in decent condition now, replacing an old roof can save you from costly repairs down the line.

Multiple Leaks or Widespread Damage: If you’re dealing with multiple leaks, missing shingles, or extensive damage across large sections of the roof, replacement may be the best option. This prevents more frequent repairs and ensures your home is fully protected.

Frequent Repairs: If you find yourself constantly repairing your roof, it may be more cost-effective in the long run to replace it rather than keep patching up issues.
