Your roof is one of the most important parts of your home, protecting you from harsh weather and ensuring your family’s safety. But how do you know when it’s time for a replacement instead of just a repair?
One of the biggest indicators is age. Most roofing materials last between 20 to 25 years, so if your roof is approaching or exceeding this timeframe, it’s wise to have it inspected. Missing, curling, or cracked shingles are also clear signs of wear and tear. Shingles should lie flat against your roof, and any irregularities could mean that your roof is no longer offering full protection.
Leaks are another warning sign. Water stains on ceilings, peeling paint, or even mold growth inside your home can point to a roof that is no longer watertight. If leaks keep happening even after repairs, it may be time to consider a full replacement. A sagging roof is even more serious, as it can indicate structural issues that require immediate attention.
Another clue that your roof is deteriorating is the presence of loose granules in your gutters. Over time, asphalt shingles lose their protective granules, making them less effective at shielding your home from the elements. Excessive granule loss can accelerate wear and make your roof more vulnerable to damage.
