5 POTENTIAL SIGNS THAT YOU MAY NEED A NEW ROOF

1. Buckling, Curling, Fractured, or Missing Shingles

Some signs are more obvious than others. One way you can tell if your roof needs to be replaced is if you take a moment to look at the slopes of your roof. If the slopes of your roof that receive direct sunlight are curling and losing granules, they should probably be replaced.

Next, look at the shingles in your roof valleys. Valleys are one of the parts of your roof that protect your home from leaks, making them incredibly essential. So, if any of the shingles in your roof valleys are broken or missing, it’s likely time to get a new roof.

2. Full Gutters

Next, take a look at your gutters. Over time, your roof loses granules. These granules usually end up in the gutters, so if your gutters are full of granules, this is a good indication that your roof has been weathered down enough to require replacement.

While looking at the granules, be sure to look out for any patches that are inconsistent in color or darker in appearance. Such discoloration signals that the granules are wearing away.

3. Water or Light Leaking In

The next place to investigate is your attic. If during the day, you can see light coming through, that’s a clear indication that you need to replace your roof.

4. Roof Sagging

Taking a look at the roof in general, one of the most notable indications that your roof needs to be replaced is if you notice that its sagging anywhere. This indicates that there is a structural issue with your roof, which is a very serious problem and requires immediate action.

5. Old Age

The average lifespan of a roof is about 20 to 25 years. Even if you don’t see any problems with your roof, it is recommended that you replace your roof every two decades.
