You may need a new roof if it is over 20–25 years old, has widespread damage (cracked, curling, or missing tiles), or shows structural sagging. Other indicators include constant leaks, significant granule loss in gutters, or visible daylight through roof boards in the attic.

The most common roof repair is fixing a leak, which usually involves replacing a small section of damaged shingles and sealing vulnerable transition points like flashing around chimneys, vents, and valleys.
