Related questions
Should I patch or replace?
Repair if: roof is under 12 years old, damage is local, repair cost is under 25% of replacement. Replace if: over 18 years, multiple repair points, or insurance is covering replacement after major storm. Borderline (12-18 yr, single damage area) = patch and start saving.
What does a Toledo emergency roof tarp cost?
$250-$650 for proper installation (rope-anchored, not nail-anchored — nailing creates new leak holes). Lasts 30-90 days while you schedule a permanent fix. Many roofers waive the tarp fee if you sign for the permanent repair.
