Good to know

Roof repair-vs-replace FAQ

How do I know if it's a repair or a full replacement?

It depends mainly on your roof's age and the extent of the damage. A young roof with isolated damage is usually a repair; an older roof with widespread issues is more likely heading toward replacement. Our assessment tool above gives you a starting read.

Is a small roof leak really urgent?

Any active leak is worth addressing quickly — even a small one can cause significant hidden damage to insulation, framing, and drywall the longer it continues.

Does storm damage always mean I need a new roof?

Not necessarily. Storm damage can range from a few displaced shingles (a repair) to widespread structural issues (a replacement) — a professional inspection gives you the real answer.

How fast can I get a roofer for an urgent repair?

Availability varies by area and season, but our matching prioritizes active-leak and storm-damage requests as urgent so you're connected with pros who can respond quickly.
