🔍 Roof Replacement vs. Roof Repair: How to Decide What’s Right for You
Every roof needs attention eventually—but when problems pop up, should you repair the damage or replace the entire roof? 🤔
At THL Roofing, we know the right choice depends on several key factors.
Let’s break down how to make the smart call for your home and your wallet. 🏡
🧹 When a Roof Repair Makes Sense
Minor issues or localized damage usually call for repair, not full replacement.
Here’s when a repair is likely the best move:
🛠️ Signs You Should Repair
- Only a few missing, cracked, or curling shingles
- Minor flashing damage around chimneys or vents
- Small leaks in isolated areas
- Damage from a recent storm, but most of the roof is still intact
- Roof is relatively new (under 10-15 years old)
💡 Pro Tip: Quick repairs now can prevent more costly problems down the line!
🏗️ When It’s Time to Replace the Roof
Some roofing problems go beyond simple fixes.
In these cases, replacement might be the safest and smartest long-term choice.
🚨 Signs You Should Replace
- Roof is 20+ years old and nearing the end of its expected lifespan
- Widespread shingle loss, sagging, or structural issues
- Multiple, recurring leaks across different parts of the roof
- Extensive storm, hail, or wind damage
- Rising energy bills from poor roof insulation
⚠️ Ignoring these signs can lead to bigger costs and property damage over time.
💵 Repair vs. Replacement: Cost Comparison
🔧 Repair

🏠 Replacement
