How old is your roof?

When Should You Repair vs Replace a Roof in Charlotte?

Repair your Charlotte roof if the damage is localized, the roof is under 15 years old, and there are no structural issues. Replace it if the roof is over 20 years old, has widespread damage, multiple leaks, or if repair costs exceed 30% of replacement cost. Charlotte's severe storms often tip aging roofs from "repairable" to "needs replacement."

Signs You Can Repair

  • Roof is under 15 years old
  • Damage limited to one area
  • Only a few missing or cracked shingles
  • Single small leak, easily traced
  • No sagging or structural concerns

Signs You Should Replace

  • Roof is 20+ years old (shingles)
  • Widespread curling or buckling
  • Multiple or recurring leaks
  • Heavy granule loss in gutters
  • Repair costs exceed 30% of replacement
