Roof repair or re-roofing?
How to think about whether a repair is enough or whether a new roof makes more sense.
When a repair is usually enough
A few slipped or broken tiles, a damaged ridge or a single failed flashing can usually be repaired well, keeping your existing roof going.
When a new roof may be better
If tiles are failing across the roof, the underlay has perished, battens are rotten or repairs keep coming back, a re-roof is often the better long-term option.
An honest assessment should explain why, rather than simply recommending the bigger job.
