Question 1

How do I know if I need a roof replacement or just a repair?

If your roof is over 20–25 years old, has widespread shingle damage, or you’re noticing leaks in multiple areas, a full replacement is often the better long-term solution. In the Philadelphia suburbs, seasonal weather can speed up wear, so a professional inspection is the best way to determine the right approach.
