Recognize the signs
When you're choosing between repair and replacement, how far the damage goes matters more than how the roof looks.
Missing or lifted shingles, cracked edges and new ceiling stains need attention. Damage in one spot may only call for a targeted repair.
Widespread curling, bare patches, repeated leaks or an uneven roof surface call for a broader assessment of shingles and underlying decking.
Project planning
Shingle roofing includes the layers under the surface as well as the shingles you can see.
Check shingle condition, leak symptoms, flashing and accessible decking to set the scope.
Talk through repair or replacement, shingle choice, removal requirements and the materials needed.
Fix damaged decking and prepare the underlayment, flashing and edges to the applicable manufacturer requirements before installation, then review the work and clean up.
Estimate essentials
Roof area, pitch, height and access affect the scope, along with your shingle choice and how many existing layers have to come off. Flashing, ventilation, disposal and site protection matter too.
Ask how decking damage found during removal will be handled. A good estimate separates the planned work from conditions that may only show up after tear-off.
Local considerations
For historic village properties, check whether township review applies before choosing materials. Condominium projects may need coordination with the association, and on wooded lots, watch for debris in valleys and plan driveway access and material staging.
Give your street address when you inquire, since the Chadds Ford mailing area extends past township boundaries. In heavy rain near Brandywine Creek, access conditions may also need checking.
A practical first step
After strong wind or heavy rain, use binoculars from the ground to look for missing shingles, lifted edges and debris in valleys. Take dated photos and check the ceilings you can reach for new stains.
Don't climb onto a wet, icy or damaged roof. When you request a free estimate, describe any visible damage or leak symptoms.
