When your roof’s taken a beating from a storm, you’re staring at shingles in the yard and wondering — “Is this a quick fix, or am I in for a whole new roof?”
We get it. That’s not just a roof you’re looking at — it’s your protection, your investment, your peace of mind.
Let’s break it down so you can breathe easier, take confident next steps, and avoid making a costly mistake.

Your Roof After the Storm: The Emotional Reality Check

Before:

  • Worry sets in — “Is it leaking?”
  • You’re unsure who to trust — contractors are throwing jargon and estimates your way.
  • You’re stuck between not wanting to overspend and fearing the risk of doing too little.

After (with Bravo):

  • You’ve got a straight-talking expert on your side.
  • You understand your options clearly — repair or replace — and why.
  • You’ve made a confident, informed decision that protects your home without draining your wallet.

A Simple System to Make the Right Roofing Choice

We’ll help you decide between a repair and a full replacement:

  1. The Extent of the Damage
  2. The Condition of the Roof
  3. Your Financial & Long-Term Goals
    Everything falls into one of these — no overlap, no confusion.

Option 1: Storm Repair — When Less Is More

Think of this like patching a tire.
If the hole’s small, why buy new wheels?

Repair is usually the right move if:

  • Less than 25–30% of your shingles are affected
  • The roof is under 10 years old
  • Damage is surface-level (wind-lifted shingles, missing tabs)
  • There are no signs of rot or sagging decking

Benefits of Repair:

  • Fast Turnaround: Often done same-day
  • Cost-Effective: Especially with insurance coverage
  • Minimal Disruption: Keep your routine intact

Perfect for homeowners who need a short-term fix with long-term reliability

Option 2: Full Roof Replacement — When It’s Time to Start Fresh

Sometimes it’s not about the flat tire — the whole tread is worn.
No sense throwing patches on a roof that’s structurally tired or aging out.

Replacement is usually best when:

  • There’s widespread storm damage (over 30% affected)
  • The roof is over 15–20 years old
  • You’re seeing interior leaks, mold, or structural sagging
  • Previous repairs were done poorly

Benefits of Full Replacement:

  • Long-Term Peace of Mind: Especially important in Georgia’s storm-prone climate
  • Boosted Home Value: Great if you’re planning to sell in the next few years
  • Modern Efficiency: Newer materials = better energy savings
  • Warrantied Work: With Bravo, you get a 6-year workmanship guarantee

Ideal for families who want a future-proof, low-maintenance solution

Decision Lens 1: The Extent of the Damage

Ask yourself:
“Is this damage cosmetic, functional, or structural?”

Think of your roof like a car hood:

  • A ding = repair
  • A bent frame = replacement

Bravo’s honest inspection will lay this out clearly — no upsell, just facts.

Decision Lens 2: The Roof’s Overall Condition

Age matters. If your roof is a decade old or more, you may be near the tipping point.
We’ll evaluate:

  • Underlayment condition
  • Decking health
  • Shingle wear patterns

Metaphor: It’s like putting a new engine in a car with 200k miles — sometimes it’s just better to upgrade the whole ride.

Decision Lens 3: Your Financial & Long-Term Goals

Short-Term Stay?
Repair may be your best option — get safe, sell later.
Long-Term Home?
Replacement might be the smarter play — protect your asset and save on future headaches.

Bonus: Insurance can often cover more than you think — we’ll help you navigate the paperwork so you’re not paying out of pocket unnecessarily.
