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
