Sometimes, you will definitely know that you need to replace your roof: if there’s a giant hole where your roof used to be, you need a new roof (glad we could help with that one)! But a lot of the time, it’s more of a judgement call as to whether a roof replacement or repair is more appropriate, and we can share some guidance on how to make that call. First, consider the age of your roof. An average roof lasts about 20 years, so consider how long it would be before you have to replace the rest of your roof if you repaired it instead of replacing it. Second, consider the amount of your roof that needs to be repaired. If the repair covers more than about 30% of the roof, it’s probably a good idea to just replace the whole thing (and restart the 20-year clock on your roof as mentioned before). There are other factors that can influence your choice in terms of repair or replacement, but these are the two main questions to ask yourself when making a decision about roof replacement.
