Storm Damage to the Roof
If your roof has been damaged by wind or hail, you may need to replace it, regardless of its age. Wind damage to your roof can range from a few blown-up shingles to a whole section of shingles being blown off. It’s possible that the wind has blown shingles loose that you can’t see. Your insurance company may want to replace the entire roof depending on the severity of the damage. Hail damage to your roof is much more difficult to spot. It could be years before hail damage causes your roof to leak. If you suspect your roof has been damaged by hail, you should have a licensed roofing contractor inspect it before contacting your insurance company.
Roof age
You should consider having your roof repaired if it is less than ten years old. A newer roof shingles are usually less brittle and easier to repair. Roofs installed more than 12 years ago have reached the average age of an asphalt shingle roof and may require roof replacement. Repairing an older roof with crumbling shingles can result in more harm than good. ReJUVEN8 roofing and restoration provide a complimentary roof inspection to assess the condition of your roof.

Other Considerations
If you intend to stay in your home for a long time, roof replacement may be necessary sooner rather than later. You might end up spending a lot of money repairing a roof that you’ll eventually have to replace. If you don’t plan on staying in your home for a long time, however, you might be able to get away with a roof repair.
