When Roof Replacement Is the Right Call
Most residential roof replacements happen for one of five reasons. Knowing which category your situation falls into helps you decide whether replacement is the right call or whether a targeted repair will hold longer.
- Age. Asphalt shingle roofs last 20–30 years, metal lasts 40–70 years, tile lasts 50–100 years. Replacement before failure is generally less expensive than replacement after a leak has caused interior damage.
- Storm damage. Hail, high wind, and fallen tree limbs are the most common reasons for mid-life roof replacement. Insurance typically covers full replacement when documented damage exceeds about 25% of the roof surface.
- Multiple leaks. Leaks in two or more separate areas usually mean the underlayment has failed across the surface, not just at one location.
- Decking damage. Sustained moisture that has reached the plywood sheathing or rafters generally requires the entire roof system to come off so the structural elements can be inspected and repaired.
- Home sale preparation. An aging roof is one of the most common items flagged in pre-sale inspections. Replacement before listing typically returns 60–70% of the cost in resale value.
