Replacement indicators: widespread granule loss (bare spots on shingles or excessive granules in gutters); cupping or curling shingles across multiple sections; hail damage covering more than 30% of any roof section; a roof more than 20–25 years old; multiple leak locations; or visible daylight through the attic. Repair indicators: isolated missing or cracked shingles on a roof with 10+ years of remaining life; a single flashing failure on an otherwise sound roof; or one isolated leak source. RainFire Builders provides honest assessments — repair is recommended when repair is genuinely the right answer.
