1. Roof Replacement vs. Repair

2. Roof replacement vs. repair
All roofs eventually wear out and need replacement. 
However, certain types of problems just need repair.
Here are factors to consider in deciding whether to
repair or replace your roof:

3. Age of your roof
Most roofs have a lifespan of approximately 20 to 30 years.
If the roof is in good shape, a repair job will usually suffice.
If the roof is already worn and aged, replacing it may be a better solution.

4. On some occasions, isolated leaks can be repaired.
Extent of the leaks
If your roof is leaking, an inspection can help determine the extent of the leak.
On some occasions, isolated leaks can be repaired.
If the roof leak is widespread, a roof replacement may be necessary.

5. Frequency of repairs
If you frequently need to hire a contractor to repair your roof, it may be time to replace your roof.
Putting off a roof replacement may cause you to spend more money in the long run.

6. If a few shingles are missing, a simple repair can restore it.
Extent of Damage
The extent of the roof damage will help you decide whether to repair or replace your roof.
If a few shingles are missing, a simple repair can restore it.
If many shingles are missing, and the remaining ones are cracked or damaged, it may require a total replacement.

7. Presence of Moisture
Moisture in your attic or elsewhere in your house is usually a sign that your roof should be replaced.
If your roof is only a few years old, you can invoke your warranty for a cost free repair job.
