Signs Your Roof Needs Replacement
Knowing when it's time to replace your asphalt shingle roof can save you from expensive repairs and damage. Watch for these common indicators:
- Age of the Roof: Asphalt roofs generally last 20-30 years. If yours is approaching or surpassing this, replacement should be considered.
- Missing or Curling Shingles: Shingles that are cracked, missing, curling, or buckling reduce your roof’s effectiveness and indicate wear.
- Granule Loss: Excessive granules in gutters or downspouts signal that shingles are deteriorating.
- Water Leaks or Stains: Interior ceiling stains or water leaks mean your roof’s protective barrier might be compromised.
- Visible Sagging:
A sagging roof deck can be a sign of structural issues requiring immediate attention.
