The age of your roof can help determine whether you should get repairs or a replacement. According to The Roofer's Guild, an average roof lasts 25-50 years, depending on material and property type. Consider the longevity and durability of your current roofing material. This can help you decide whether you should get a repair or replacement.

Determining whether you need a replacement or repair can be challenging if you don't know how old your roof is. Talking to a roofing company is a great way to decide which option is best for you. Schedule an inspection and ask their opinion. Roofers can tell how much wear and tear a roof has with a thorough inspection and will recommend a solution based on their findings.

How often you need repairs is an excellent indicator of whether it's time for a new roof. It's common for a roof to need repairs after significant weather events, such as severe storms or heavy winds. However, a new roof is less likely to need repairs. A roof that needs to be replaced will slowly require more frequent maintenance. Track how frequently you call a roofing company for service, and use that information to make the right decision.

Many homeowners install a new roof to increase property value before they put their home on the market. Specific materials provide qualities that homebuyers are searching for. For example, metal shingles are eco-friendly, fire-resistant, pest-resistant, recyclable, and more energy-efficient. These attributes can help your home sell faster at a higher value.
