AllDone Construction FAQ

Signs you might need a new roof include missing shingles, cracked or curling shingles, frequent leaks, sagging areas, or visible daylight through the attic. If your roof is 15–20 years old, it may be time to consider replacement even without visible damage. A professional inspection can help assess its true condition.

Minor issues like a few missing shingles or small leaks usually require repairs. If damage is widespread, structural, or your roof is near the end of its lifespan, replacement may be more cost-effective. An inspection will help determine the best solution for your situation.

Be aware that many contractors travel from state to state and leave town with no one to guarantee or warranty the work after it's completed.
