A repair is usually sufficient if your roof has minor damage, like a few missing shingles or a small leak. However, if your roof is over 20 years old, has widespread damage, or you’re noticing frequent leaks or sagging, it may be more cost-effective in the long run to replace it entirely. A professional inspection can help determine the best course of action.
Costs vary depending on the size of your roof, materials used, and the extent of the damage. On average, a roof replacement can range from $5,000 to $15,000 or more, while repairs typically cost between $150 and $1,500.
Most residential roof replacements take 1–3 days, depending on the size and complexity of the job, the weather, and the roofing material. Your contractor should give you a timeline before the project starts so you can plan accordingly.
It depends on the cause of the damage. Insurance typically covers roof repairs or replacements caused by sudden events like storms, hail, or falling trees. However, damage from normal wear and tear or lack of maintenance is usually not covered. Always check your policy or talk with your insurance provider for clarity.
Popular options include asphalt shingles (affordable and easy to install), metal (durable and energy-efficient), tile (long-lasting and attractive), and slate (premium and elegant). We use GAF roofing products because they are the best in the industry.
Look for a licensed, insured contractor with good reviews, experience in your area, and clear communication. Ask for references, a written estimate, and details on warranties for both materials and labor. Avoid anyone who pressures you or offers unusually low bids—it could be a red flag.
