A roof protects your property from weather, keeps your building energy efficient, and maintains its value. For home and commercial property owners, deciding whether to repair your roof or replace it entirely can be challenging. Ignoring roof problems can lead to costly damage, while unnecessary replacement wastes money. This guide helps you understand when to get roof repairs and when a new roof is the better choice. It also explains why contacting A&O Roofing Solutions ensures the right decision and quality work.

Signs You Need Roof Repairs
Roof repairs are often the first step when you notice problems. Fixing small issues early prevents bigger damage and extends your roof’s life. Look for these common signs:
Missing or damaged shingles
Shingles protect your roof from rain and wind. If you see cracked, curled, or missing shingles, water can seep in and cause leaks.
Leaks or water stains inside the building
Water stains on ceilings or walls indicate your roof is letting moisture through. Even small leaks can damage insulation and drywall.
Granules in gutters
Asphalt shingles shed granules as they age. Finding granules in gutters means your shingles are deteriorating and may need repair soon.
Damaged flashing
Flashing seals roof joints around chimneys, vents, and skylights. If flashing is loose or cracked, water can enter these vulnerable spots.
Moss or algae growth
Moss holds moisture against the roof surface, accelerating damage. Removing moss and treating the roof can prevent further issues.
If you notice one or two of these signs, a professional inspection and targeted repairs can save your roof.
When You Should Consider a New Roof
Sometimes repairs are not enough. A new roof may be necessary if:
Your roof is over 20 years old
Most asphalt shingle roofs last 20 to 25 years. If your roof is near or past this age, replacement is often more cost-effective than repeated repairs.
Widespread damage
If multiple areas have damaged shingles, leaks, or structural issues, repairs become costly and temporary.
Sagging roof deck
A sagging roof indicates structural damage, often from prolonged water exposure. This requires a full roof replacement for safety.
Energy bills are rising
An old or damaged roof loses insulation efficiency, causing heating and cooling costs to increase.
Insurance company recommends replacement
After storm damage, your insurer may suggest replacement if repairs won’t restore the roof’s integrity.
Choosing a new roof improves your property’s protection, appearance, and value.
