Roof Leaks Be Repaired.

This is the million-dollar question homeowners ask. The answer depends on several factors:

Repairable scenarios:

• Isolated damage covering less than 30% of your roof
• Recent roof installation (less than 10-15 years old)
• Structural decking remains solid and dry
• No widespread water staining or mold in the attic

Replacement indicators:

• Multiple leak points across different roof sections
• Sagging or soft spots indicating structural damage
• Widespread granule loss on asphalt shingles
• Repeated repairs in the same areas (band-aid fixes)

I always tell homeowners: a quality repair can extend your roof’s life by 5-10 years, but only if the underlying system is still sound. An experienced contractor will give you an honest assessment rather than pushing unnecessary work.
