Roof Repair

🏠 Introduction

Your roof protects everything underneath it—from your belongings to your family. So when issues arise, many Grand Rapids homeowners find themselves asking:
“Do I need a roof repair, or is it time for a full replacement?”

The answer depends on the condition, age, and extent of damage to your roof. In this post, Simpatico Roofing walks you through key signs to help you decide whether to repair or replace your roof—and when to call in a professional for a free inspection.


🔧 Signs You May Only Need a Roof Repair

If the issues are isolated and relatively minor, a targeted roof repair can fix the problem without the need for full replacement.
Here are common signs that your Grand Rapids home may only need repair:

  • ✅ A few missing or damaged shingles
  • ✅ Small, localized leaks
  • ✅ Minor flashing damage around chimneys or vents
  • ✅ Wind or storm-related damage in specific areas
  • ✅ Moss or algae growth on one section

Repairs are ideal for newer roofs or when the damage hasn’t affected the entire structure.


🏚️ Signs You May Need a Full Roof Replacement

If your roof shows widespread damage or is nearing the end of its life, a complete roof replacement may be the better investment.

Look out for these red flags:

  • ⚠️ Curling or buckling shingles
  • ⚠️ Bald spots where granules are missing
  • ⚠️ Frequent or recurring leaks
  • ⚠️ Water stains or sagging in the attic
  • ⚠️ Your roof is 20–30 years old (especially asphalt shingles)

A new roof doesn’t just solve problems—it can also increase your home’s energy efficiency, safety, and resale value.
