If your roof is in good condition with no major damage, painting is a cost-effective way to refresh its look and extend its lifespan. However, if your roof has leaks, rust, sagging, or structural issues, then replacement is the better long-term solution.
In short:
✅ Paint = Cheaper, good for cosmetic updates if the roof is sound
✅ Replace = Necessary if the roof is failing or nearing the end of its life
Always get a roof inspection to make the right call.
