The answer depends on the age of the roof, location and extent of damage, condition of the shingles and performance of the roofing system.
When Roof Repair May Be the Better Choice
Repair is often appropriate when damage is localized and the roof is otherwise in good condition.
- A small isolated leak
- A limited number of missing shingles
- Localized flashing damage
- Minor storm damage in one area
- A relatively newer roofing system
When Roof Replacement May Make More Sense
Replacement may be more practical when deterioration is widespread or ongoing repairs no longer provide dependable protection.
- Recurring leaks in multiple areas
- Widespread curling, cracking or missing shingles
- Significant granule loss
- Extensive hail or wind damage
- An older roofing system requiring frequent repairs
Cost Is Not the Only Consideration
A repair may cost less initially, but repeated repairs on an aging roof can become expensive. Replacement may provide better long-term protection.
Consider the Condition of the Entire Roofing System
A professional inspection should consider shingles, flashing, ventilation, underlayment, roof deck and evidence of past water intrusion.
