Repair or replace
Five questions that settle it
Repair when the damage is localized and the roof still has years of life left. Replace when the roof is past about 20 years, the damage is widespread, or leaks are showing up in more than one place. A free inspection gives you the honest call.
1. How old is the roof?
A roof under 15 years with one problem area is usually a repair. Once an asphalt roof is past about 20 years, patching it tends to throw good money after bad, and replacement is the smarter spend.
2. How widespread is the damage?
One wind lifted section or a single leak points to a repair. Hail bruising or granule loss across the whole roof points to replacement, because the damage is everywhere, not in one spot.
3. Is it one leak or several?
A single leak with an obvious cause is fixable. Leaks in several places at once usually mean the roof system itself is failing.
4. What does the decking look like?
If the wood decking under the shingles is soft or rotted, a surface repair will not hold. That is a replacement conversation.
5. Is insurance involved?
When a storm caused the damage and your claim is approved, replacement is often the covered, sensible outcome. We document the damage and meet your adjuster so the scope reflects reality.

Common questions
Straight answers
Anything else, ask me directly. You will get me, not a phone tree.
Is it cheaper to repair or replace a roof?
A repair is cheaper today, but if the roof is near the end of its life, repeated repairs cost more over a couple of years than one replacement would have. Age is the deciding factor.
Can I replace just half of my roof?
Sometimes, for example one slope that took storm damage, but matching new shingles to weathered old ones is tricky and it is not always the right call. An inspection tells you if a partial replacement makes sense.
Will a repair void my roof warranty?
A repair done correctly by a certified roofer will not. Poor, out of spec work is what voids warranties, which is exactly why who does the work matters.
