Is it Time to Replace Your Roof?

Many homeowners don’t think about their roofs until leaky ceilings form inside their home.  

Roofers are most in demand following severe weather such as heavy rain or high winds.  If you put off doing repairs or replacing your roof until you have a problem such as a leak, you may find yourself in a panic to find a competent contractor to do the job.  Your problem will get worse before it can be addressed.

Look for some of the common signs below that your roof may need attention and avoid costly delays and repairs.

When it’s time to replace your roof...

1. Your roof has missing shingles.

High winds can remove shingles from your roof. You can use binoculars to inspect your roof without a ladder.

2. Shingles are cracked or peeling.

Even if the shingles aren’t missing, there can be damage. Curling or torn shingles are an indicator that the life of your roof is coming to an end.

3. Stains or water marks on your ceiling.

Your roof may be leaking. Find the source of the leak and make repairs before the problem grows.

4. Shingles are discolored.

This can be a sign of mold or algae growth on your roof, particularly in warm, wet climates. These elements can cause it to deteriorate and fail.

5. Your roof is older.

If you have a typical asphalt shingle roof, and it’s more than 10-15 years-old, chances are, you’re going to need to replace it in the near future.
