Common Roofing Questions
How do I know if my roof needs to be replaced?
Widespread deterioration, recurring leaks, significant storm damage, or an aging roofing system (typically 20+ years for asphalt shingles) are strong indicators that replacement may be the better option. A professional inspection can help determine the appropriate solution based on the condition of your roof.
Minor or isolated damage may be repairable. However, when damage is widespread or the roof has reached the end of its expected lifespan, replacement is often more cost-effective than repeated repairs.
Can a leaking roof be repaired?
Often, yes. The right solution depends on the location and extent of the damage, the condition of the existing roofing system, and its age. A professional roof inspection can help determine whether a repair or replacement makes the most sense.
How long does a roof last?
Roof lifespan depends on the roofing material, installation quality, ventilation, weather exposure, and maintenance. Asphalt shingles typically last 15–20 years, while metal roofs can last 40–70 years. Rather than relying on age alone, the overall condition of the roofing system should be evaluated by a professional.
What are common signs of roof damage?
Missing or curling shingles, cracking, granule loss, damaged flashing, leaks, rotting, and buckling are all common signs of roof damage. If you notice any of these, a professional inspection is recommended.
Should I have my roof inspected after a storm?
Yes. If your property experienced high winds, hail, falling debris, or severe weather, having the roof inspected can identify damage that may not be obvious from the ground.
How much does a new roof cost?
Roof cost depends on variables including roof size, material, complexity, existing roof condition, decking, labor, and property-specific conditions. For a personalized estimate, schedule a free inspection.

Roof Repair or Roof Replacement?
Repair may make sense when damage is minor, isolated, or the roof is relatively young. Targeted repairs can stop leaks and extend the life of the system.
Replacement may make sense when damage is widespread, leaks recur, the roof is approaching or past its expected lifespan, or storm damage has compromised the structural integrity of the system.
