If you’re seeing multiple missing shingles after windstorms, curling edges on asphalt shingles, or leaks in different areas of your home, replacement is likely your best option. These are signs that the roofing material has reached the end of its useful life.
However, isolated leaks around chimneys, skylights, or vent penetrations often indicate flashing problems that can be repaired effectively. Similarly, a small section of damaged shingles from a fallen branch doesn’t necessarily mean the entire roof needs replacement.
The deciding factors are the roof’s age, the extent of problems, and your long-term plans for the property. If your roof is over 20 years old and requiring frequent repairs, replacement becomes more cost-effective than continuing to patch problems. We’ll give you an honest assessment of whether repair or replacement makes more financial sense for your situation.
