Is It Time to Replace Your Roof? 10 Key Signs to Watch Out For

Not sure whether your roof needs replacing? Watch out for these 10 signs to avoid bigger problems and costly repairs down the road.

Signs of Roof Wear and Tear

Damaged or Missing Shingles: Missing shingles leave your roof exposed, leading to water damage.
Shingles that Are Curled or Cracked: Shingles that curl or crack often point to an old roof needing replacement.
Granules in the gutters: Granules in the gutters indicate your shingles are deteriorating.
Water Stains or Leaks: Visible spots on ceilings or walls indicate roof leaks.
Roof Sagging: Structural issues may be compromising your roof.
Visible Light in the Attic: This means holes or weak spots.
Moss and Algae Growth: Moisture buildup leading to moss or algae can break down your roof’s integrity.
High energy bills: An inefficient roof can result in higher energy bills due to poor insulation.
Age of the roof: Roofs typically last 20–25 years; if yours is older, it could be time to replace it.
Storm damage: After a storm, check for signs of damage such as broken shingles or punctured roofing.

Postponing roof replacement can cause serious damage, such as mold, structural issues, and escalating repair costs. Don’t wait until it’s too late.
