Is It Time to Replace Your Roof? 10 Key Signs to Watch Out For

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

Signs of Roof Wear and Tear

Damaged or Missing Shingles: If shingles are missing or damaged, it opens the door for leaks and water intrusion.
Shingles that Are Curled or Cracked: Curled or cracked shingles are a common sign of roof aging.
Granules Found in Gutters: The presence of granules in the gutters means your shingles are losing their protective coating.
Leaks and water 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: Light entering through the attic signals holes or weak points in your roof.
Moss or algae growth: Moss or algae growth on your roof can lead to material deterioration.
High energy bills: An inefficient roof can result in higher energy bills due to poor insulation.
Age of the roof: Roofs typically last 20–25 years; if yours is older, it could be time to replace it.
Storm damage: After a storm, check for signs of damage such as broken shingles or punctured roofing.

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:

Shingles Made of Asphalt: A cost-effective, durable choice for most homes.
