Your roof works hard every single day, and most homeowners do not think about it until something goes wrong. Catching problems early can save you thousands. Here are five signs it may be time for a new roof.
1. Your Roof Is 20+ Years Old
Most asphalt shingle roofs last between 20 and 25 years. If yours is approaching that age, it is worth scheduling a professional inspection even if you do not see obvious damage.
2. Curling, Cracked Or Missing Shingles
Shingles that curl at the edges, crack or blow off in storms can no longer protect the roof deck underneath. A few damaged shingles can be repaired, but widespread damage usually means replacement.
3. Granules In Your Gutters
Shingles lose their protective granules as they age. If you find lots of gritty granules in your gutters or downspouts, your shingles are wearing out.
4. Water Stains And Leaks
Brown stains on ceilings, peeling paint near the roofline or damp spots in the attic are clear signs water is getting in. Leaks spread quickly and can damage insulation and framing.
5. A Sagging Roofline
A roof that dips or sags may have structural problems in the decking or supports. This needs immediate attention from a professional.
