Repair or replace? How to think about an aging roof

A few practical questions that help you decide whether a repair is enough.

Not every leak means you need a new roof. Here's how we walk homeowners through the decision.

How old is the roof?

Age alone doesn't decide it, but a roof near the end of its expected life makes repeated repairs less worthwhile.

Is the damage isolated?

A single failed pipe boot is a repair. Widespread curling, granule loss and soft decking point toward replacement.

Get it in writing

Ask for both options in writing with photos, so you can compare cost against expected lifespan.
