Roof Repair vs Complete Roof Replacement: What’s Best?
December 1, 2025

When your roof is damaged, the big decision is whether to repair it or replace it entirely. Here’s how to know which is right for you.


When to Repair

  • Missing or damaged shingles.
  • Small leaks that are easy to locate.
  • Damage limited to one section of the roof.

Repairs are faster and more affordable, but they may not be a long-term fix.


When to Replace

  • Roof over 20 years old.
  • Widespread leaks or structural issues.
  • Rising energy bills due to poor insulation.

Replacement costs more upfront but saves money long term by preventing recurring issues.


Louisville Weather Factor

Because of storms, heavy rain, and humidity, Louisville roofs often face added wear. An older roof may not be worth patching repeatedly.
