Should You Repair or Replace Your Roof?
We believe in honest recommendations. Here's how we help you decide between repair and replacement:
Repair Makes Sense When...
- •Damage is localized: Only one area or section affected (less than 20-30% of roof)
- •Roof is relatively new: Less than 10-12 years old for standard shingles, less than 15-20 for premium
- •No structural damage: Decking is solid, rafters intact, no sagging
- •Materials are available: We can match existing shingles/color for seamless repair
- •Budget constraints: You need immediate fix but aren't ready for full replacement
- •Cost-effective: Repair cost is less than 30-40% of replacement cost
💰 Typical Repair Costs:
- • Minor leak repair: $300-$800
- • Shingle replacement (small section): $400-$1,200
- • Flashing repair: $400-$1,000
- • Emergency tarping: $200-$500
- • Major repair (multiple areas): $1,500-$4,000
Replacement Is Better When...
- •Widespread damage: More than 30-40% of roof affected by storm, age, or deterioration
- •Roof is old: 15-20+ years for standard shingles, approaching end of expected lifespan
- •Multiple past repairs: You've repaired several times in recent years (band-aid approach)
- •Structural concerns: Decking damage, sagging, soft spots that indicate deeper problems
- •Energy efficiency issues: High cooling bills, poor insulation, you want to upgrade
- •Material mismatch: Can't find matching shingles, repair will look patchy/obvious
- •Insurance is covering it: Storm damage claim approved, your out-of-pocket is just deductible
💡 Our Honest Approach:
We'll never upsell you on replacement if repair is appropriate. But we also won't patch a roof that's beyond repair—that just delays the inevitable and costs you more in the long run. We provide honest assessments and let YOU make the informed decision.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does roof repair cost?
Roof repair costs vary by issue type: Minor leak repairs: $300-$800, Shingle replacement (small section): $400-$1,200, Flashing repair: $400-$1,000, Emergency tarping: $200-$500, Major repairs: $1,500-$4,000. We provide upfront, itemized pricing with no hidden fees. If the repair cost exceeds 30-40% of replacement cost, we'll recommend replacement as the smarter investment.
How quickly can you repair my roof?
Most repairs are completed in 2-4 hours, same day. Minor leaks take 1-2 hours, shingle replacement 2-3 hours, flashing repairs 2-4 hours. For emergencies, we offer same-day response—often within 2-4 hours of your call. Larger repairs may take 1-2 days. We'll provide an accurate timeline after inspection based on the specific damage.
Will my insurance cover roof repairs?
Insurance typically covers repairs if damage resulted from a covered event (storm, hail, wind, falling tree). Damage from wear-and-tear or lack of maintenance usually isn't covered. We provide free post-storm inspections, document damage with photos, help you understand your coverage, and work directly with insurance adjusters. Many repairs cost less than typical deductibles ($2,500-$5,000), so cash payment may make more sense.
Can you match my existing roof shingles?
In most cases, yes! We work with all major manufacturers (CertainTeed, Owens Corning, GAF, Tamko) and have access to extensive color/style options. For newer roofs (less than 10-12 years), matching is usually straightforward. For older roofs, the manufacturer may have discontinued your exact shingle, but we can typically find a very close match. We bring samples during inspection so you can see the match quality before work begins.
Do you offer warranties on repairs?
Yes! Every repair comes with our 10-year workmanship warranty. This covers any issues with our installation or repair work. If the repaired area develops leaks or problems from our workmanship, we fix it at no charge. Materials also carry manufacturer warranties (typically 25-50 years depending on product used). This gives you complete peace of mind.
Should I repair or replace my roof?
Repair makes sense when: Damage is localized (less than 30% of roof), roof is under 10-15 years old, no structural damage, repair cost is less than 30-40% of replacement. Replacement is better when: Roof is 15-20+ years old, damage exceeds 30-40%, you've done multiple repairs recently, structural concerns exist, or insurance is covering the replacement. We'll give you an honest assessment and let you decide.
What if I have an emergency leak?
Call us immediately at (512) 763-5277—we offer 24/7 emergency service. For active leaks, we provide emergency tarping within 2-4 hours to stop water damage. Tarping typically costs $200-$500 and protects your home until permanent repairs can be made (usually within 1-2 days). We also help you document damage for insurance claims and coordinate with adjusters if needed.
