If most of the roof is still solid, replacing damaged shakes is usually the best value. If the roof is near the end of its life, you can re-roof in new cedar to keep the look, or switch to architectural asphalt shingles or metal for lower maintenance and, with metal, a longer life.
We'll lay out the costs and trade-offs of each option so you can make the call.
