Assess roof age, damage extent, and cost to decide between repair or replacement.
Asphalt shingle roofs last **15-25** years; tile and metal can last **30+** years.
Replacement is best if repair costs exceed **25-30%** of a new roof or if there are multiple leaks.
Localized damage and roofs with **5-7** years of life left often justify repair.
Prompt action and professional contractors help protect home value and prevent costly future issues.
