Deciding between repairing or replacing your roof hinges on a few factors. If your roof is 20–30 years old—the typical lifespan for most materials like asphalt shingles—replacement might save money long-term, per ThisOldHouse. If damage covers more than 25% of the roof, replacement is often smarter than patching. Also, if repairs exceed 50% of replacement costs (e.g., $5,000 repairs vs. $9,000 replacement), go for the new roof. A pro inspection can settle it—don’t guess with something this big.
