Roof Repair or Full Replacement? How to Tell

A stain on the ceiling or a few missing shingles does not always mean you need a new roof. At Topline Roofing, our first goal is to find the right fix for your home, not to sell a replacement when a precision repair will do.

Signs a repair is probably enough

• Damage is limited to one slope or a small area.
• The shingles are less than 15 years old and still flexible.
• The leak traces back to flashing, a vent boot or a few lifted shingles.

Signs it is time to replace

• Shingles are curling, cracking or losing granules across the whole roof.
• You have had repeated repairs in different spots.
• The roof is near the end of its expected life, around 20 to 30 years for asphalt.
• The decking underneath is soft or sagging.
