10 Indicators It’s Time for a Roof Replacement

Not sure whether your roof needs replacing? Watch out for these 10 signs to avoid bigger problems and costly repairs down the road.

Common Indicators of Roof Wear and Damage

Shingles That Are Missing or Damaged: Missing shingles leave your roof exposed, leading to water damage.
Curled or cracked shingles: Shingles that curl or crack often point to an old roof needing replacement.
Granules Found in Gutters: Granules in the gutters indicate your shingles are deteriorating.
Roof Leaks and Stains: Visible spots on ceilings or walls indicate roof leaks.
Roof Sagging: If your roof is sagging, it could be a sign of compromised roof structure.
Light coming through the attic: If light is visible through your attic, it’s a sign of roof damage.
Moss and Algae Growth: Moss or algae growth on your roof can lead to material deterioration.
Increased Energy Bills: Damage to your roof can lead to poor insulation, raising energy costs.
Roof’s Age: Roofs typically last 20–25 years; if yours is older, it could be time to replace it.
Storm damage: Strong winds or hail can cause immediate and severe issues.

Postponing roof replacement can cause serious damage, such as mold, structural issues, and escalating repair costs. Don’t wait until it’s too late.

Here are several roofing materials to consider for your replacement:

Asphalt Roof Shingles: Affordable and durable, asphalt shingles are a great choice for many homes.
Metal roofs: Long-lasting and ideal for various climates.
