The 25% rule refers to regulatory and insurance guidelines governing roof repairs. Under strict regional building codes, if a quarter or more of a roof section is damaged or requires repair over a 12-month span, building regulations mandate a full-section tear-off and replacement to current code standards. While once widely interpreted by homeowners as an automatic insurance trigger for total replacement, modern code clarifications have refined how damaged areas are calculated across distinct roof planes.
