Trying to decide between patching your roof or replacing it? It is one of the most common questions we hear, and the right answer depends on a few key things.
1️⃣ Will spending less now cost more later? A repair can be the smart move for isolated damage, but if your roof is older or the same spot keeps causing trouble, those repair costs can quietly add up over time.
2️⃣ What warranty comes with the repair? Repairs typically carry shorter coverage than a full replacement. Before you commit, make sure you know exactly what is guaranteed and for how long.
3️⃣ Will the repair actually solve the root problem? A leak is often a symptom, not the source. A thorough inspection helps confirm whether a patch will hold or whether something deeper needs to be addressed.
