Typical repairs are done in a few hours to a day. Larger repairs or ones that wait for dry weather can take longer.
If damage is limited and the rest of the roof is in good shape, repair is usually the cheaper choice. If the roof is near the end of its life or damage is widespread, a replacement often costs less over time.
