Repair or Replace? How to Know

Most Ocala homeowners call us expecting to hear they need a full replacement. A lot of the time, they do not. A well-done repair on a roof with years of life left is the right call. We tell you honestly which one applies to your home.

These signs point toward repair rather than replacement:

• Roof is under 15 years old with isolated damage
• Leak is in one area with a clear cause
• Storm damage covers less than 25 percent of the surface
• Shingles are in good shape except for a specific section
• Flashing failure at a single penetration point

These signs point toward replacement:

• Roof is 18 or more years old with widespread wear
• Multiple leak sources in different locations
• Decking rot in several areas found during inspection
• Insurance adjuster has written it up as a total loss

We inspect before we quote. You get a straight answer, not a sales pitch.

Common Roof Repairs in Marion County

Florida's climate produces specific failure patterns. These are the repairs we do most often in Ocala and the surrounding area.

Storm damage and leaks top the list every year. Florida's rainy season and hurricane season overlap from June through November. That makes proactive inspections valuable. Catching a flashing failure before a storm hits costs far less than emergency repairs after one.

How Our Repair Process Works

Every repair job starts with an inspection. We do not quote repairs from the ground or from photos alone. A crew member gets on the roof, finds the source, and gives you a written scope before any work starts.

• We inspect the roof and identify the actual failure point, not just the symptom.
• We give you a written repair quote with a clear scope of work.
• We pull permits if the repair scope requires one under Marion County code.
• We complete the repair using matching or compatible materials.
• We test the repair area before we leave when conditions allow.
• We provide a written warranty on all repair work.

We do not recommend or sell repairs that will not hold. If a repair will not hold for at least several years, we say so. We explain why a replacement makes more sense.

Repair Warranty

Every repair Thomas Roofing completes comes with a written warranty. The length depends on the repair type and scope. Most standard repairs carry a 1 to 2 year labor warranty. Larger repair scopes qualify for our 5-year labor and material warranty.

We stand behind repair work the same way we stand behind replacements. If a repair we completed fails within the warranty period, we come back and fix it at no charge. No runaround.

PACE financing is available on larger repair scopes. No payments for the first 12 months. Monthly options start at $100.
