Should you repair or replace your roof? According to the experts at Prizio Roofing & Siding Co. in Stamford, CT, there are numerous factors to consider. Depending on the age of your roof, smaller roof repairs may be able to fix leaky spots or blown off shingles. But, if you roof needs major repairs and is older, a complete roof replacement may be best. A roofing professional can provide a thorough inspection and evaluation of your roof’s structure, shingles and gutters, and can help you make an informed decision to ensure your roof will continue to protect your home, your family, and your wallet.

When to Replace a Roof

If your roof is more than 15 years old, it's almost always better to replace it if a major repair is needed. Making repairs on large sections of your roof may not match existing shingles and the color may be off. Additionally, continuing to make roof repairs may keep your home protected right now, but you're only throwing away money and time by putting off a replacement if your roof is older. Another indication that you need a roof replacement is major structural damage, like a dip in the roof, since there is a chance for a collapse.
