Using the Repair vs. Replace Calculator
Repair decisions become expensive when short-term savings hide repeated mobilization, tenant disruption, and another capital request in a few years. This calculator helps compare targeted repairs against overlay or reconstruction by looking at condition, expected useful life, estimated cost, and risk. A repair can be the right answer when distress is isolated and the base is stable. Replacement or structural rehabilitation becomes more defensible when cracking is widespread, drainage is poor, or surface repairs no longer buy meaningful time.
For best results, save the output with dated site photos, the contractor proposal, and any board or owner notes. That documentation makes it easier to compare options, explain tradeoffs, and revisit the decision later if conditions, pricing, tenant needs, or ADA exposure change.
