Signs You May Need a Roof Replacement:
1) Age of the Roof
- Asphalt shingle roofs typically last 20–25 years.
- Metal, tile, or slate roofs can last longer but still require inspection.
- If your roof is near or past its expected lifespan, it’s time to evaluate.
2) Missing, Cracked, or Curling Shingles
- Shingles protect your home from water and wind.
- If many are missing or visibly deteriorating, replacement might be better than repair.
3) Water Damage or Leaks
- Signs like water stains on ceilings, mold, or mildew can mean roof failure.
- Persistent leaks usually indicate widespread problems.
4) Sagging Roof Deck
- A sagging or drooping roof may signal structural issues or water damage.
5) Granules in Gutters
- Asphalt shingles shed granules as they age. Excess granules in gutters mean your shingles are wearing down.
6) Increased Energy Bills
- Poor insulation or ventilation due to an old roof can drive up heating/cooling costs.
7) Visible Sunlight in Attic
- If light can get through, water can too. This usually indicates significant damage.
8) Storm or Hail Damage
- High winds, hail, or falling debris can shorten a roof’s life dramatically.
