Deciding whether to repair or replace your roof depends on several factors, including the extent of the damage, the age of the roof, and the type of material used. Here are some guidelines to help you make the right decision:

Assessing the damage

Localized problems: If problems are limited to small areas, such as a few cracked, misaligned, or damaged shingles, a repair or patch may be sufficient.

Storm Damage: Inspect for severe signs such as missing shingles, hail damage, or other impacts requiring immediate repair or complete replacement.

Structural damage: Recurring leaks, rotted wood, or widespread problems may require extensive repairs or even replacement.

Consider the age of the roof

Less than 10 years old: Repairs are usually sufficient, especially if the material is still in good condition.

15 to 25 years old (depending on the material): Consider replacement if there are multiple signs of wear or frequent repairs.

Over 25 years old: Replacement is often the best option because the materials may be too worn to be effectively repaired. A new roof can also improve energy efficiency and protection.

Identifying Warning Signs

Frequent leaks: Indicates major underlying problems that may require replacement.

Curling or warped shingles: Indicates aging or poor installation that may require replacement.

Missing granules (on asphalt shingles): Indicates wear and reduced performance.

Mold, algae, or rot: Extensive problems indicate it’s time for a new roof.

Cost Effectiveness Analysis

Roof Repairs: Address moderate problems and extend the life of the roof. This is a good option if the roof is otherwise in good condition.
Roof replacement: A larger investment, but one that pays off in the long run with reduced maintenance, better protection, and increased property value.
