At what point is it more cost-effective to go with a new roof replacement versus the repair route? It’s wise to request a reputable contractor specializing in roofing services to inspect your roof closely to access the damage. A qualified contractor analyzes all factors including the age, materials used, condition of the materials, cost-effectiveness, and safety concerns to make a go or no-go determination on whether the roof needs to be replaced.
