Not every problem needs a new roof. We inspect first, tell you honestly whether a repair solves it, and only recommend a full replacement when that's actually what's needed.
These usually point to a repair, not a full tear-off.
A single leak source, rather than water coming in from multiple spots.
Younger roofs usually have plenty of life left once the specific problem is fixed.
Failed flashing around a chimney, vent, or valley is a common, fixable leak source.
A section of missing or damaged shingles from a recent storm, with the rest of the roof intact.
We'll tell you straight if repair is just delaying the inevitable.
At that age, most materials are near the end of their useful life.
Leaks in more than one area usually mean widespread wear, not a single fixable spot.
Storm or age-related damage covering most of the surface, not just one section.
If you're fixing the same roof every year or two, replacement is usually the better long-term cost.

It usually comes down to age and how widespread the damage is. A younger roof with an isolated problem is often a good repair candidate; a roof past 20 years with multiple issues usually makes more sense to replace.
