If less than 30% of your roof shows damage, repairs usually make sense. When we see widespread shingle deterioration, multiple leaks, or structural issues, replacement becomes more cost-effective. Age matters too—if your roof is over 20 years old and needs significant repairs, replacement might be the smarter long-term choice. We’ll give you an honest assessment. Sometimes a $1,500 repair saves you from a $15,000 replacement. Other times, spending money on repairs is throwing good money after bad. We explain both options and let you decide what makes sense for your situation.
