Clean. Repair. Restore. Replace. — Based on What Your Roof Actually Needs.

Not every aging or discolored roof needs the same thing. Here's how a licensed evaluation sorts that out — and why the answer matters more than which company you call.

Quick Answer

How Do You Know What Your Roof Needs?

A licensed evaluation sorts every roof into one of four outcomes — clean, repair, restore, or replace — based on its actual condition, not a guess from the curb. A documented evaluation gives you photos and a specific, written reason for the recommendation.

The Four Outcomes

What a Licensed Evaluation Sorts Out

Clean

Your roof is structurally sound, but algae discoloration, moss, or general buildup is making it look older than it is. Professional softwashing is likely all it needs.

Repair

Isolated issues — a damaged section of flashing, a failed pipe boot, a few displaced shingles — can often be fixed directly, without a full-system response.

Restore (the complete GoodShield system)

Your roof is serviceable but showing broader signs of aging, and it meets the criteria for the complete cleaning-and-rejuvenation process. This is for roofs worth proactively maintaining, not roofs that are already failing.

Replace

The roof has reached the point where cleaning, repair, or rejuvenation isn't the honest answer anymore — due to age, extent of damage, or underlying structural issues. This is where Mr. GoodRoof's full roofing and replacement experience comes in.

Worth Knowing

Why Get a Second Opinion

If you've already been told your roof needs to be replaced, it's reasonable to want a second, evaluation-based opinion — especially if the only thing that's changed is the roof's appearance. A documented evaluation gives you photos and a specific, written reason for the recommendation, whichever of the four categories it falls into.
