Roof Repairs vs. Roof Replacements

Sep 06, 2022

If your roof is older, damaged, or beginning to show signs of wear, you may be considering replacement or repair. However, knowing which service your roof needs can be a challenge. Luckily, we’ve got you covered. Use this guide to determine if your roof needs repairs or a full replacement.

Signs Your Roof Needs Repairs

If you have areas of your roof that have experienced damage, however, most of the roof is still in great condition, then repairs may benefit you more than a full replacement. Roof repairs can fix issues such as missing or damaged shingles, sags, mold, or cracks. A quick inspection of your roof or tell-tale signs such as water stains on the ceiling can quickly identify if repairs are needed.

Roof replacement consists of totally removing the old roof and replacing it with a fresh new roof of your choice. This is a much more time-consuming and intensive project to undertake, so you want to be positive it is the best option for your home before beginning. If your roof is more than 20 years old, has bald spots, curled edges of shingles, or multiple visible cracks, roof replacement is most likely the only option.
