First Time Roof Replacement?
This is one of the top questions that homeowners have, and for good reason! The choice to repair or replace is a big one with significant financial implications, and there’s not necessarily a right or wrong answer that will apply to every situation.
Most often, the choice of repair vs. replace comes down to cost—not only for the immediate roofing service but over the total lifespan of the roof. While minor roof damage can often be addressed by a repair or a partial reroof, it may not be financially advantageous to do so. To make the best investment, you’ll want to consider the following points:
- Is your roof nearing its expected lifetime?
- How much damage is there?
- Is future damage likely, either due to roof age or local climate?
- Is your roof leaking? If so, is the cause known?
- How energy efficient is your current roof?
- Are you planning to sell your home? If so, would your current roof be a selling point or a problem?
- Is your roof currently under warranty?
To find out whether your roof is a good candidate for repairs, please contact us for a free roof analysis and consultation.

According to the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors (InterNACHI), the following timeframes are reasonable estimates for common residential roofing systems:
- 3-Tab Asphalt Shingles: 20 years
- Architectural Asphalt: 30 years
- Clay or Concrete Tile: 100+ years
- Fiber Cement: 25 years
- Metal: 40 – 80 years
- Slate: 60 – 150 years
- Wood: 25 years
If your roof is located in an extreme weather area (such as coastal hurricane zones), the expected lifespan will likely be lower than average. For more detailed insights on your roof condition, reach out to our expert Project Consultants.

- Geographic location
- Local housing market
- Size of home
- Square footage of roof
- Roof pitch or slope
- Roofing material, both old and new
- Roof accessibility
- Any custom roof features, like skylights or dormers
- Old roof removal costs, if any
