Is It Worth Patching A Roof?

Let’s say you have an asphalt shingle roof.

In Richmond, most asphalt shingle roofs last between 15 and 30 years old, depending on the type of shingle. If you have a 3-tab, or flat-looking, shingle, its age range is lower – about 15 to 20 years – while an architectural, dimensional-looking shingle can last up to 25 or even 30 years. But severe weather – hail storms, hurricanes, or wind, for example – or an improperly ventilated roof may wear down your roof prematurely.

So, let’s say you notice a new leak in your 10-year old roof. If there’s no extensive hail or wind damage, it’s likely that you can simply repair your roof without breaking the bank. If, however, you notice a leak on your 22-year-old roof, replacing your roof may be more beneficial and money-saving than repairing it.
