The decision usually comes down to the extent of damage and your roof’s age, but in Crompond, we also look at how well your current roof handles ice dam formation and temperature changes. If you’re seeing repeated leaks in the same areas, especially after freeze-thaw cycles, or if your energy bills have increased significantly, those are signs that repairs might just be temporary fixes.We inspect the roof structure, check for proper ventilation, and assess whether the current materials can handle another few Westchester County winters. Sometimes a roof that looks okay from the ground has serious issues with ice dam damage or inadequate insulation that make replacement the more cost-effective long-term solution.Age is also a factor—if your asphalt shingle roof is over 20 years old and showing multiple problem areas, replacement usually makes more financial sense than ongoing repairs, especially given the stress that our local climate puts on roofing materials.
