Do You Need a New Roof or Just a Repair?

Don’t Let a Small Problem Turn Into a Full Replacement

Not every roofing issue means you need a whole new roof. In fact, many problems can be solved with a targeted repair — as long as they’re caught early.

Here’s how to tell whether you need a full roof replacement or just a professional repair.

🔍 1. Start With a Professional Inspection

A proper diagnosis starts with a hands-on roof inspection, not just a guess from the ground or a drone photo. At Roofing Exterior Innovations, we:

  • Physically walk the roof (when safe)

  • Check all flashing, valleys, vents, and penetrations

  • Look for signs of hidden damage beneath the surface

  • Provide photos of everything we find

From there, we’ll give you honest feedback on whether it’s time to repair or replace — no pressure either way.

🧰 2. You Might Just Need a Repair If:

  • The leak is localized (like around a vent or flashing)

  • Your roof is under 10–15 years old and in otherwise good shape

  • There are only a few missing or damaged shingles or tiles

  • You’re seeing minor signs of wear (like lifted shingles or a cracked tile)

✅ We do repairs — and we’ll never upsell you if a simple fix will get the job done.

⏳ 3. You May Need a Full Replacement If:

  • The roof is 15–25+ years old and showing signs of widespread wear

  • Shingles are curling, cracking, or granules are missing

  • Multiple leaks have developed in different areas

  • The underlayment has failed (especially with tile roofs over 20 years old)

  • Previous repairs were done improperly or are failing

We’ll walk you through the findings with clear photos and explain all your options.

🧾 4. Insurance May Cover Repairs or Replacement

If the damage was caused by wind or storm impact, your homeowner’s insurance may help cover the cost — especially if it’s documented properly and filed in time.

Our team can help guide you through the process and provide the reports, photos, and roof scope needed to support your claim.

✅ Honest Roofing Advice, Every Time

We believe in doing what’s right for the homeowner — not what pads our profit. Whether you need a full replacement or just a professional patch, we’ll give you an honest answer backed by experience and documentation.
