Answer:

Roofs

After the recent rainstorm several neighbors decided to fix thier leaking roofs.

Explanation:

Technically, both roofs and rooves are correct. Roofs is the plural of roof in all varieties of English. Rooves is an old secondary form, that follows the same irregular plural form as words like hoof (singular=hoof, plural=hooves). Therefore, roofs is more accepted, but rooves is not incorrect either.
