Is the damage localized?
A few missing shingles after wind may have a different implication from cracking and loss across several slopes. Note where damage is visible from the ground and whether it repeats a previous problem. The distribution helps frame the assessment.
Can the surrounding shingles be worked safely?
A repair requires integration with the existing roof. Brittle shingles may break when lifted, expanding the work beyond the original opening. Product compatibility and available matches also affect the practical scope and finished appearance.
What is happening beneath the covering?
Leaks, soft decking, and damaged underlayment may change what looks like a small repair. An assessor should distinguish observed conditions from hidden risks. Ask how additional damage would be documented and priced if the roof is opened.
What does each option actually include?
Compare the immediate repair with the broader replacement scope and its limitations. Neither roof age alone nor a single missing shingle settles the choice. Ask what problem each option solves and what condition would remain after the work.
