When does roof repair make sense?
Roof repair addresses localized issues such as small leaks, damaged shingles, or flashing failures without replacing the entire roof. Repairs are most effective when damage is limited and the underlying roofing system is still in good condition. When a roof has widespread wear, recurring leaks, or is nearing the end of its expected lifespan, a full roof replacement is often the more reliable long-term solution.
Roofs don’t always need replacing. Our team focuses on roof repairs and maintenance that address minor issues before they turn into larger, more costly problems. By fixing things like damaged shingles, loose flashing, and aging sealants early, homeowners can often extend the usable life of their roof and avoid unnecessary replacement.
Roof repair or Replacement?
Roof repair and roof replacement solve different problems. Repairs are typically appropriate when damage is isolated and the roof is still structurally sound. Replacement is usually recommended when a roof has widespread deterioration or ongoing issues that repairs can no longer resolve reliably.
Our assessment guide explains how to evaluate your roof’s condition and decide which option makes the most sense. Learn more about when to repair vs. replace your roof.

Make your Repair an Investment in the Future
Sometimes it’s not clear whether a repair or a full replacement is the better option. For some homeowners, an immediate repair might be the right call even if a full replacement is needed right around the corner (or next season). When that’s the case, we’ll often apply the cost of your repair toward a future roof replacement if you choose to move forward later. It’s a straightforward way to protect your home now without worrying that today’s investment will be lost down the line.
What homeowners say about our roof repair work
Dan Martino, Madison-area homeowner
"I had a great experience with Mike at Sun Vault Roofing. He was extremely knowledgeable, responsive and a pleasure to work with. I had several roofers come out too look at some dripping we were seeing from a bedroom ceiling and a skylight. Mike did by far the most thorough inspection and took pictures of everything he saw so I could also see. A different roofer said I needed to replace the entire roof while Mike thought we had 3-5 years left. When Mike was done with the work he provided pictures showing the work was complete. This was a relief because I had now way to check myself. Their pricing was the most competitive across the four roofers I had give quotes. Highly recommend."

Maintenance Difference
Routine maintenance is the most effective way to protect your roof’s warranty and delay costly replacement. Our comprehensive inspection and tune-up service is focused on prevention and early detection.
Roof Cleaning & Debris Removal
Remove the moss, algae, debris, and buildup that traps moisture and accelerates shingle wear. During every cleaning, we inspect and address critical areas:
-
Checking and resealing nail pops and exposed fasteners.
-
Inspecting and cleaning out the connected gutter systems.
-
Assessing the condition of all pipe boots and sealants.
Soffit & Fascia Maintenance
These areas are key to proper attic ventilation, water runoff, and ultimately to maximizing your roof’s lifespan. We repair or replace damaged soffit and fascia to preserve proper airflow and structural integrity.
Seasonal Care
Getting Ready for Wisconsin Weather
Seasonal maintenance is vital in our climate. While we offer proactive Winter Roof Services like snow removal, our maintenance checks are designed to ensure your roof is structurally ready to handle the heavy snow and ice dams characteristic of Wisconsin winters.
