What are the signs I need a new roof?

Knowing when it’s time for a new asphalt roof is crucial for maintaining the integrity and safety of your home.

Age of the Roof: Asphalt shingle roofs typically last between 15 to 30 years, depending on the quality of materials and installation. If your roof is nearing or has exceeded this lifespan, it’s likely time for a replacement.
Visible Damage: Look for signs of visible damage such as cracked, curling, or missing shingles. Damaged shingles can compromise the roof’s ability to protect against water infiltration and may indicate the need for a replacement.
Leaks or Water Stains: Interior water stains on ceilings or walls are clear indicators of roof leaks. Inspect your attic for signs of water penetration, such as wet insulation or mold growth. Addressing leaks promptly can prevent further damage to your home’s structure.
Granule Loss: Check for excessive granule loss in your gutters or around the perimeter of your home. Granules protect shingles from UV rays and harsh weather, so significant granule loss can shorten the lifespan of your roof.
Sagging or Drooping Areas: A sagging roofline can signal underlying structural issues due to moisture damage or inadequate support. If you notice any sagging areas, have your roof inspected by a professional.
High Energy Bills: An aging or damaged roof can result in poor insulation and increased energy consumption. If you’ve noticed a spike in your heating or cooling bills, it may be due to an inefficient roof.
Moss or Algae Growth: Excessive moss or algae growth on your roof can indicate trapped moisture, which can lead to roof deterioration over time.
Visible Roof Rot: If you can see signs of rotting or decay on the roof’s surface, this is a serious issue that requires immediate attention and likely roof replacement.
Daylight Through the Roof Boards: In the attic, if you can see daylight coming through the roof boards, it’s a clear sign that your roof has structural integrity issues and needs replacement.
Roofing Material Granules in Gutters: Examine your gutters for an accumulation of roofing material granules, which can indicate that your shingles are nearing the end of their lifespan.
