The big question
Repair or replace?
Look at the whole picture.
The right answer depends on the roof’s age, the extent of the damage, previous repairs, and what an on-site inspection finds.
Ask for photos and a written scope that explains the recommendation. A stain on the ceiling alone cannot show how much of the roof is affected.

How do I know if my ZIP is covered?
Use the five-digit ZIP checker above. It compares your entry with the exact coverage file. A postal city name alone does not confirm a particular ZIP.
Can I tell from a photo whether I need a new roof?
A photo can document visible conditions, but an on-site assessment is needed to understand the roof assembly and the spread of damage.
What should I ask before agreeing to work?
Ask for the findings, written scope, material details, permits if applicable, credentials and the process for any concealed damage.
