Is It Better To Repair Or Replace A Roof?

Do you hold your breath every time a storm is predicted, wondering if your roof will withstand the wear and tear? Have you noticed obvious signs that your roof is leaking? Has it been 10-12 years since your roof has been replaced or repaired?

The roof of your home is one of the most important parts, yet often the most overlooked! Your roof protects your family and property from the elements. Many people overlook roof problems until it creates extensive damage that ends up costing even more to repair. Water damage can easily end up costing 5x what it would cost to simply repair or replace your roof before the issue comes up!

However, is it better to patch or replace a roof? Choosing the right choice will determine how long your roof continues to work to protect your home or family.

Repair Your Roof

Replacing a few damaged shingles or other areas of your roof that may need it can be a simple, inexpensive option if your roofing system is newer or in generally good shape. (Just note that there may be an issue matching the existing shingles.) With the right roofing pros doing the job, a roof repair can extend the life of your roof for another decade or so.

Replacing Your Roof

If there’s more than just minor damage to your roof or there are several areas that need repair, it may be a wise investment to replace your roof altogether. There are other variables to consider: The age of your home and its roof, the weather and climate in your area, if you’re planning on selling any time soon, and whether your new roofing system could be installed over what you currently have.

Don’t Forget Inspections

Noticing signs of damage before they get serious is often a great way to save money on a replacement by opting for simple repairs instead. Regular inspections by roofing pros will also alert you to the need for a whole roof replacement if you’re unable to visibly inspect the roof on your own.
