When a ceiling stain appears, most homeowners assume the worst. But many leaks come from a single failed spot: a cracked pipe boot, lifted flashing at a chimney or wall, or a few shingles torn off in a storm. Those can be repaired for a fraction of the cost of a new roof.
Replacement makes more sense when the problems are everywhere. Shingles that are curling, cracking, or shedding granules across the whole roof, soft spots when you walk the deck, or multiple leaks in different areas all point to a roof at the end of its life.
Age matters too. An asphalt shingle roof that's been through many Georgia summers of heat and storms may still look fine from the driveway while being close to failing. An inspection from the roof and the attic tells the real story.
When we inspect, we'll tell you plainly whether a repair will buy you years or whether you'd be putting money into a roof that needs replacing soon. Either way, you get it in writing.
