Replace the roof when a patch cannot hold
Replacement removes a worn covering so the deck and roof details can be addressed together. Work includes the underlayment, edges, penetrations, flashing and ventilation appropriate to the roof. It resolves a broader condition than changing the visible shingle color. Material choice, tear-off layers, access and hidden decking help determine the final scope.
Inspection and storm assessment
An inspection looks at the condition that matters to the next decision: a current leak, a storm concern, wear or replacement planning. Storm work distinguishes an immediate opening from damaged covering and from older deterioration. Temporary protection and permanent restoration have different purposes, and an insurance decision does not replace the physical roof assessment.
