Roof repair addresses specific problems like missing shingles, small leaks, or damaged flashing. Roof replacement means installing a completely new roof system. The decision usually comes down to age, extent of damage, and cost-effectiveness.
If your roof is under 15 years old and damage is localized, repair usually makes sense. But if you’re dealing with multiple problem areas, widespread shingle deterioration, or a roof over 20 years old, replacement is often more cost-effective long-term.
We’ll always give you honest advice about which approach makes sense for your situation. Sometimes a $500 repair saves you from a $12,000 replacement. Other times, trying to patch an old roof just delays the inevitable and costs more money.
