Roof Repair vs. Replacement: How to Decide

When your roof shows damage, one key question comes up: should you repair or replace it?

Small problems like missing shingles, minor leaks, or isolated wear often only need repair. These fixes cost less and can extend your roof’s life if it’s otherwise in good condition. If your roof is over 20 years old, has widespread damage, or needs constant fixes, replacement is often the smarter investment. While the upfront cost is higher, a new roof provides longer protection, stronger warranties, and peace of mind.

The decision comes down to age, material, and the extent of the damage. A professional inspection gives you the clearest picture. In the end, the right choice balances cost, safety, and how long you plan to stay in your home.
