When a repair is enough
Localized damage — a few missing shingles, minor flashing failure, or a single leak point — often qualifies for targeted repair. If your roof is under 15 years old and the deck is sound, repair is usually the right call.

Roof Repair vs Replacement
How to know whether your Ontario roof needs a repair or a full replacement — signs, costs, and when to call a professional.
When replacement makes sense
Widespread granule loss, curling or buckling shingles across multiple slopes, repeated leaks, or a roof past 20–25 years typically means replacement is more cost-effective than patching indefinitely.
Hidden damage matters
Ontario freeze-thaw cycles hide damage under shingles — bruised tabs from hail, lifted nails from wind, and compromised underlayment are not always visible from the ground. A professional inspection catches what DIY assessment misses.
