Repair if damage is isolated, the roof is under 75% of its expected service life, and the decking is sound. Replace if there's widespread granule loss, multiple leaks, sagging decking, or storm damage covered by an insurance claim.

Hail, wind, fallen-tree, and lightning damage are typically covered minus your deductible. Wear-and-tear, age-related deterioration, and undisclosed pre-existing damage are not. File the claim within your carrier's window (usually 12 months from the date of loss) and document with timestamped photos before any temporary repair.

Temporary emergency cover — a heavy-mil reinforced tarp mechanically fastened over the damaged area with 1x3 wood strapping, sealed at the edges to keep water out until permanent repair or replacement can happen. Most reputable roofers price tarp service separately from the permanent repair.

Small repairs (shingle patches, vent boot, single flashing): 2–4 hours. Mid-scope (chimney rebuild, valley patch, decking spot-replacement): half a day to a full day. Storm-damage scope: multi-day depending on insurance approval and material lead times.

Workmanship warranty of 1–5 years on the repair scope, in writing. Manufacturer warranties on shingles, underlayment, and flashing materials are separate and survive the repair. Walk away from any contractor refusing to put workmanship terms on paper.
