Should I Repair or Replace My Roof?

Roof Repair vs. Roof Replacement: What’s the Difference?

Roof Repair is the quicker, cheaper option when you’re dealing with a few specific issues like a leak or damaged shingles. It gets the job done when the rest of your roof is still in solid shape.

Roof Replacement is a full overhaul. You remove the old materials, check the structure underneath, and install a brand-new system. Yes, it costs more upfront, but the long-term savings and peace of mind can be huge—especially if your roof is showing its age.

How old is your roof?

If your roof is pushing 20+ years, repairs are just a short-term fix. Most asphalt shingles have a lifespan of 20-25 years. If you're nearing that number, it might be time to invest in a full replacement.

how bad is the damage?

Is it a missing shingle or two? That’s a repair. But if you’re seeing multiple leaks, soggy decking, or sagging areas, replacement is the smarter, safer bet.

are you constantly calling for repairs?

Think of it like this: if you’re fixing your roof every year, you’re basically renting a failing system. A replacement stops the cycle and saves you more long-term.

what's your energy bill telling you?

Older roofs often mean poor insulation. New roofing systems can drastically cut your heating and cooling costs. So, a replacement could literally pay you back.

planning to sell?

A new roof boosts curb appeal and buyer confidence. In fact, real estate data shows a roof replacement can return over 60% of its cost at resale. That’s real value.

what's your budget and timeline?

If you need a short-term fix while you save for a replacement, we get it. Repairs are valid. But make sure you’re not just kicking the can down the road.

When Roof Repair Makes The Most Sense

• Your roof is under 10 years old.
• The damage is minor and isolated.
• You're on a tighter budget and need a short-term fix.

If this sounds like your situation, repairing could be your best move right now.

When It's Time To Replace Your Roof

• The roof is 20+ years old.
• You’ve got multiple problem spots.
• Your energy bills are climbing.
• You’re planning to stay in your home for years.

Replacement gives you a fresh start, better performance, and real peace of mind.

Upgrading and Maintaining Your Roof

For homeowners with older properties, upgrading key roof features is essential. New roof installations must comply with the latest state building codes. Despite the high costs, including potential credits from the 2022 legislation, these upgrades are crucial for improving insurance terms and protecting the home.

- Wind Mitigation Measures: Installing additional roof straps or clips through a licensed contractor can significantly enhance a roof's resilience.

- Regular Maintenance: Trimming trees, cleaning gutters, and performing regular roof inspections before hurricane season can prevent damage and reduce risks.

- Reporting Upgrades: Informing your insurance provider about any roof upgrades or repairs can demonstrate reduced risk, potentially lowering your premiums.
