Do I Need a New Roof or Just a Repair? | Artisan Quality Roofing

Here’s How Apex Homeowners Can Tell – With Help From a Local Roof Expert

Your roof keeps your home safe, dry, and comfortable. But when signs of wear show up—missing shingles, ceiling stains, or storm damage—it’s hard to know what comes next. Do you need a simple repair, or is it time for full replacement?

Let’s break down the difference—and show you how Triangle homeowners can make the right choice with help from Artisan Quality Roofing.

Signs You Just Need a Roof Repair

  • A few missing or lifted shingles
  • Flashing gaps near chimneys or vents
  • Localized leaks (one or two rooms affected)
  • Minor granule loss or moss buildup

In these cases, repairs are fast, cost-effective, and often covered by your roof’s warranty.

Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Roof

  • Curling or buckling shingles throughout
  • Multiple leak points or attic stains
  • Roof older than 15–20 years
  • Storm, hail, or wind damage across large areas
  • 3-tab shingles not performing in NC’s weather

Still unsure? We offer free inspections to help you decide confidently.

What Triangle Homeowners Often Ask

🏠 How long does a roof last in North Carolina?

In North Carolina’s climate, 3-tab shingle roofs typically last 15–20 years, while architectural shingles can last up to 30 years with proper maintenance. If your roof is nearing that age, consider a free inspection to check for wear, leaks, or storm damage.

🛠️ Can I upgrade to architectural shingles during a repair?

Yes! If your roof qualifies for partial replacement, we can upgrade your materials during the repair process. Many Triangle homeowners choose this option to improve curb appeal and durability without the cost of full replacement.

📋 Will my homeowners insurance cover roof replacement?

If your roof has storm damage from wind, hail, or heavy rain, your homeowners policy may cover the replacement. At Artisan Quality Roofing, we help you assess, document, and navigate the claim process—so you get the support you need without the stress.

💧 What does a gutter upgrade do for my roof?

Proper gutter systems help protect your shingles, fascia, and foundation from water damage. Our sister company, Quality Seamless Gutters (QSG), installs custom-cut, leak-resistant systems—including guards that reduce debris buildup and extend gutter life.
