How to know which one your roof actually needs.
Repair makes sense when…
Damage is isolated, the roof is under 15 years old, and the rest of the roof is in good condition.
Replace makes sense when…
The roof is 18+ years old, multiple repair issues exist, or insurance has totaled it after a storm.
The 25% rule
If repairs would touch more than 25% of the roof, replacement is usually a better long-term value.
