The upsides of replacing a roof is that you get all new and quality materials all the way down to the wood decking on the roof which means that the ice and water barrier, underlayment, and shingles would all be new and would last longer overall. Having this all done by professionals who can ensure that the roof is installed correctly according to the manufacturer would also mean that it would be set up to last. A roof replacement often comes with a warranty that depending on the company and the materials used, can be anywhere from 5 years to a lifetime warranty.

Replacing your roof also can be a factor if one is looking to sell their home in the near future, as this majorly affects the curb appeal and resale value of the house. By replacing you could see a major return on the cost of the roof in resale value.
When it comes to repairs, the upside is that sometimes it is only a simple fix which can be relatively quick and much more inexpensive than replacing the whole roof. Choosing to repair the damage can lengthen the life of your roof until it needs a full replacement.
The problem with repairs is that sometimes the materials of the old roof aren’t as high quality as the new materials or perhaps the original install was not completed properly. With that said, you are tying in new with old and that comes with no guarantees. Repairs only have limited or no warranties which means that certain future damage or leaks may not be covered and even more money will have to be spent to repair the roof.
