Repair or replace? Honestly, it depends.

We weigh how much damage there is, how old the roof is, what shape the materials are in, and how long you plan to stay in the house.

    Repair it

    The damage is in one spot and the rest of the roof has years left in it. This is the most common answer we give.

  2. 02

    Replace it

    The damage is widespread, the roof is near the end of its life, or you are paying for repairs every year.

    If you are not sure, we inspect, show you photos, and tell you which one makes sense. It won’t cost ya a thing.

Questions people ask us.

How long does a roof last?

Lifespan varies depending on materials and weather exposure. Asphalt shingles typically last 20-30 years, while metal roofing can last 40-70 years. Regular maintenance and inspections help maximize your roof's lifespan.

Can an old roof be repaired instead of replaced?

Some roofs can be repaired, while others may require replacement depending on condition. Factors like the extent of damage, age of materials, and overall structural integrity determine whether repair or replacement is the best option.

Does storm damage always require replacement?

Not always. An inspection helps determine the extent of impact. Minor storm damage may be repairable, while severe or widespread damage may necessitate full replacement to ensure long-term protection.

How long does replacement take?

Most replacements are completed in 1-3 days once scheduled and materials are prepared. The timeline depends on roof size, complexity, and weather conditions. JBS Roofing works efficiently to minimize disruption.
