Knowing when to replace your roof is crucial for protecting your home and ensuring the safety of your family. Here are some key signs that it might be time for a new roof:
Age of the Roof
Most asphalt shingle roofs last between 20-30 years. If your roof is approaching or has surpassed this age, it’s wise to consider a replacement.
Visible Damage
Look for cracked, curled, or missing shingles. These are clear indicators that your roof is deteriorating. Also, check for granules in your gutters, which signal shingle wear.
Leaks and Water Damage
If you notice leaks, water stains on your ceiling, or mold growth in your attic, these are signs of roof failure. Addressing these issues promptly can prevent further damage.
Sagging Roof
A sagging roof is a serious issue that suggests structural problems. This requires immediate attention and likely a full roof replacement.
Increasing Energy Bills
If your energy bills are rising unexpectedly, your roof’s ventilation might be compromised, affecting your home’s temperature regulation. A new roof can improve energy efficiency.
Roof Valleys
Valleys are the areas where two slopes of the roof meet. If shingles in these areas are missing or damaged, it can lead to leaks and serious damage.
Daylight Through Roof Boards
If you can see daylight through the roof boards in your attic, it’s a clear sign that your roof needs replacing.
