Should You Repair or Replace Your Roof? A Roof Repair Guide to Florida Home Owners.

April 17, 2024 by Brandi

This article discusses a common Florida homeowner's dilemma: should I repair or replace a leaky or damaged roof?

There's no one-size-fits-all answer, but let’s explore key factors to help you make an informed decision.

Factors to Consider when deciding to repair or replace your roof:

Age of Your Roof: Different roof materials have varying lifespans. Asphalt shingles, for example, typically last around 15 years and a tile roof lasts much longer. Look for warning signs of an aging roof or contact a professional to take a look.
