Roof Leak in Plantation? Here Is How to Know Whether You Need a Repair or a Full Replacement
Most Plantation homeowners only pick up the phone after water appears on a ceiling or drips onto the floor, and by that point, the damage has already moved through the surface layer, past the underlayment, and into the structural decking holding your roof together.
South Florida's climate does not give damaged roofs much grace. Heat and humidity turn a manageable repair situation into a full replacement conversation faster here than almost anywhere else in the country.
So what actually determines which direction you go?
A repair is the right call when: The damage is localized — a cracked tile, a failed flashing seal at a pipe or vent, or a small section of deteriorated underlayment that has not yet spread to surrounding areas.
A replacement is the right call when: Shingles are losing granules across large sections of the roof, the decking has developed soft spots that flex underfoot, or previous repairs have failed to stop the same leak from returning.
Every legitimate assessment should evaluate the full picture — surface condition, underlayment health, flashing integrity at all penetration points, deck structure, and drainage patterns that may be holding water where it should not be.
