Repair vs. Replace: what makes sense?

Every roof is different, but these practical checkpoints help decide the next step.

When repair makes sense

  • The leak is localized (one detail, one drain, one flashing)
  • The membrane is generally in good condition
  • You want to buy time before a planned replacement

When replacement is usually smarter

  • Recurring leaks in multiple areas
  • Widespread membrane cracking, splitting, or seam issues
  • Ponding water plus failing details
  • The roof is near the end of its service life
Want a quick opinion? Send photos of seams + drains + wall transitions and we’ll tell you if it looks like a repair situation or a full re-roof.
