FAQs about Roof Repair

• How much does a roof leak repair cost?

  Roof leak repairs cost $200–$1,500 depending on the source and extent of damage. Minor repairs (replacing a few shingles, sealing a small flashing gap) run $200–$500. Moderate repairs (valley or chimney flashing replacement, larger shingle sections) cost $500–$1,000. Complex repairs (multiple leak sources, damaged decking, structural issues) run $1,000–$1,500+. Emergency tarping to stop active water damage costs $200–$500. A good roof repair contractor will diagnose the actual leak source — water often travels along rafters and sheathing before dripping, so the interior stain may be far from the actual roof penetration.

• Should I repair or replace my roof?

  Repair if: the roof is less than 15 years old, damage is limited to a small area, the rest of the roof is in good condition, and repair cost is less than 30% of replacement cost. Replace if: the roof is over 20 years old, there are widespread issues (curling, cracking, granule loss across the entire surface), multiple leaks in different areas, or the repair would only be a temporary fix on an aging roof. A qualified roofer can assess the remaining useful life and help you decide. Insurance claims for storm damage may cover full replacement even on an aging roof if the damage meets the policy threshold.
