Repair or replace: how we actually decide

Every roofer will tell you a replacement is safer. It is also more profitable, so it is worth knowing how the decision is actually made.

Is the field failing, or a detail?

Granule loss across the whole roof is age. A stain under one valley is a detail, and details are repairs.

How many layers are up there?

Two layers means a tear-off regardless, which changes the arithmetic considerably.

How long are you staying?

A five-year plan and a thirty-year plan are different decisions on the same roof.
