Ask whether a repair is practical
For one visible area, ask what the repair addresses and whether surrounding roof details were checked. Confirm what is outside the scope.
New Roof or Repair
New roof or repair?
A single roof problem does not automatically mean the whole roof needs replacing. An inspection can help you discuss the condition and the options.
Compare the size of the problem with the work proposed
A repair may be suitable for a local issue. A re-roof is a wider project and may be discussed when the roof has more extensive wear or recurring problems. Only an inspection of the roof can help establish what work is appropriate for your property.
Describe previous repairs, repeated leaks and any visible damage. Do not climb onto the roof to inspect it yourself.
Questions to consider
Compare evidence, scope and disruption
These signs are prompts for discussion, not a diagnosis. Only an inspection can establish which parts of your roof need work.
Review the history
List previous leaks and repairs with approximate dates if known. Ask what the inspection found and why the proposed work should address the cause.
Discuss broader work
If several areas show wear, ask whether a re-roof should be considered alongside repair options and what access or timing the project needs.
Before work starts
Make the proposal easy to compare
Ask for the work scope, roof areas included, exclusions, access arrangements and expected sequence in writing. East Coast Roofing & Building states a minimum 10-year guarantee on work; request the terms that apply to this specific project.
