Roof repair or replacement?

What to discuss before choosing a scope.

01

Start with the problem, not a preset answer

A localized leak and widespread deterioration are different situations. Tell Galaxy about the leak history, known age and previous work. An inspection helps establish whether a specific repair can address the problem or whether a broader replacement discussion is appropriate.

02

Compare the areas included

A repair proposal may address one transition, while a replacement includes an entire roof section. When comparing estimates, identify exactly which areas each contractor proposes to work on. A smaller price can simply describe a smaller scope.

03

Ask about preparation and hidden conditions

The condition below an existing covering may not be fully visible before removal. Ask how the estimate handles damaged decking or other newly exposed conditions, and how any changes would be discussed before additional work proceeds.

04

Understand what the warranty covers

Material and workmanship coverage can differ. Ask for the written terms that apply to the proposed work, including maintenance requirements and exclusions. Do not assume a coating, patch and replacement carry the same coverage.
