The quiz weighs the same things a roofer checks first: how old the roof is, what it's made of, the signs you can spot, whether a storm has passed through and how often it has needed patching. An older roof showing several warning signs leans toward replacement, while a younger roof with one small problem often leans toward a repair.
You don't need to climb a ladder. Look from the yard, from an upstairs window that faces the roof and with a flashlight in the attic, and check the gutters after a heavy rain. A sagging roofline always lands at least on an inspection result, since it can point to trouble in the decking or framing underneath.
Using What You Learned
Whatever result you got, the next useful step is an inspection by someone who can get up on the roof. We pass your request to one independent local roofer, who looks at the roof and gives you a written estimate for a repair, a replacement or both. The referral is free, and you can call (865) 555-0147 to set it up.
