How to Make the Right Roofing Decision
When your roof starts showing signs of wear, the big question becomes: Do you repair the damage or replace the entire roof? As a homeowner, the decision can feel overwhelming. However, understanding a few key signs can help you determine the smartest solution for your home — and your budget.
When Roof Repair is a Smart Choice
Minor issues are often fixed quickly and affordably:
-
Missing or cracked shingles in only one area
-
Small leaks caught early
-
Minor flashing damage
-
Storm impact in a limited spot
Repairs can extend the life of your roof if the majority of the system is still strong.
When It’s Time for a Full Roof Replacement
If damage is widespread or your roof is reaching the end of its expected lifespan, replacement may be the better investment. Look for:
-
Roof age of 20+ years
-
Large or recurring leaks
-
Sagging or rotting decking
-
Severe storm damage
-
Granule loss or brittle shingles
A replacement gives your home renewed strength and a clean, updated appearance — adding long-term value.
