    Just some extra info, we just had our roof repaired. We had two quotes, one repair and one replace, replacement was $5500, and repair was $3300. We have about 135sqm of tin corrugated roof.

    We only plan to stay here a couple of years, so took the short term fix approach, the repair is guaranteed for 5 yrs. If we were making this our long term home we would have gone for replacement.

    Default "New" roof?

    Imagine being a few years from now, selling the house.

    How does this sound to you:

    "And the roof is repaired 2 years ago"

    or

    "And the roof is renewed 2 years ago".

    If the amount of money doesn't influence your quality of life, I'd defenitely go for the NEW roof. You have to look at these things RELATIVELY.

    Relate it to the capital value of your house. What percentage are we talking? (Rhetorical question)

    Good luck, John Z.
