When a roof repair makes sense, when it is time to replace, and typical costs for each.
Frequently asked questions
Will insurance pay?
Storm or hail damage is often covered. Wear and age usually are not. A local roofer can inspect and document damage.
How old is too old for a roof?
Asphalt shingle roofs over about 20 years old are often better replaced than repaired.
Can I put new shingles over old ones?
Some areas allow one overlay layer, but a full tear-off usually lasts longer and shows hidden damage.
How many quotes should I get?
Two or three is a good rule. Compare the scope, materials, warranty and timeline, not just the price.
