Not Every Roof Needs Replacing
A repair fits when the damage is confined to one area and the rest of the roof still has years left. Big shade trees line many Conway streets, dropping limbs in storms and piling leaves into valleys and gutters each fall. Those problems usually stay small if someone deals with them early.
With a median owner home value of $252,100 in Conway (Census figure), a roof is a large part of what many families own, so it pays to fix the right thing. Not sure which way to go? The five-question repair-or-replace quiz sorts your answers into a likely next step.
Common Situations
- A limb through the roof. A falling branch can punch through shingles and decking. The roofer cuts out broken boards, patches the deck and blends in new shingles.
- Shingles lifted by wind. Unsealed tabs lift, crease or go missing. A few replacements often settle it if nearby shingles are still flexible.
- Leaves clogging valleys and gutters. Packed leaves hold water in valleys and at the roof edge, where it backs up under shingles.
- Flashing leaks. Flashing around chimneys, skylights and walls can loosen or rust, causing stains nearby.
- Cracked pipe boots. The rubber collar around a plumbing vent breaks down in the Arkansas sun and lets in a slow, steady leak.

Inspection, Estimate, Install
- Tell us what you see. Use the form or call (501) 555-0196 with a few lines about the leak, stain or damage. We pass it to one independent local roofer.
- The roofer finds the source. Leaks travel, so a good visit covers the attic and the slope uphill from the stain.
- Compare repair and replacement. On an older roof, ask for both options in writing.
- Check the decking. Boards that feel spongy or look dark may need replacing before new shingles go on. Ask for photos.
- Wrap up. Get a written labor warranty on the repair and keep it with your house papers.
What Sets This Apart
You don't need a full replacement in mind to send a request. The referral is free for you, and a roofer may pay us for it. We don't price jobs or do the work, so repair-or-replace advice comes from the roofer who saw your roof.
Arkansas requires anyone doing roofing work to hold a state roofing registration, and home-improvement jobs over $2,000 also call for a state license. Type the roofer's name into the "Find a Licensed Contractor" search on the Arkansas Contractors Licensing Board's website, or call the Board at 501-372-4661. Ask for proof of liability insurance and workers' comp, and skip anyone wanting cash only.
Before You Book
Is a repair worth it on a 20-year-old roof?
It can be, if the damage is in one spot and the rest of the shingles still lie flat and hold their granules. When curling, bald patches and leaks show up in several places, a repair may only buy a short time. Ask the roofer to explain how much life the roof has left.
Will the new shingles match the old ones?
Often not exactly. Shingles fade, and older colors get discontinued. A roofer may borrow shingles from a hidden slope or pick the closest current product. Ask to see a sample held against your roof before work starts, so a mismatch doesn't surprise you later.
Does a roof repair need a City of Conway permit?
The city's published guidelines don't say either way for roof work. Ask your roofer to check with Building Permits & Inspections at (501) 450-6107 and to tell you who handles any paperwork. If your home sits in the Robinson Historic District or the Old Conway Design Overlay District, check with the city before changing roofing materials.
Can cleaning my gutters stop a leak?
Sometimes. Clogged gutters and valleys can push water under the roof edge after heavy leaf drop. Clearing them is a good first step, but if a stain keeps growing, have a roofer check the flashing, pipe boots and decking. Use a steady ladder and a helper.
