Tell us what you have noticed, the result you want, your location, and your preferred timing. If you are still exploring your options, that is a useful starting point too.

A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS
Let’s make things clearer.
How do I describe a roof problem?
Note where you see the issue, whether it appears during rain, and when you first noticed it. Share the approximate roof age and material if known. Photos taken safely from the ground or inside the home can help; a professional should assess the roof itself.
Can a roof be repaired instead of replaced?
That depends on the roof’s condition, the extent of the damage, and its materials. Ask a roofing professional to explain the cause, available repair options, and why a replacement may or may not be appropriate after an inspection.
What should a roof estimate specify?
Look for the material and product specifications, tear-off and disposal, underlayment, flashing, ventilation, cleanup, and any warranties. Ask how hidden damage discovered during the project would be handled.
