10 Indicators It’s Time for a Roof Replacement

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

Missing or damaged shingles: If shingles are missing or damaged, it opens the door for leaks and water intrusion.
Curled or cracked shingles: Shingles that curl or crack often point to an old roof needing replacement.
Granules Found in Gutters: Asphalt shingles losing granules signal wear.
Water Stains or Leaks: Visible spots on ceilings or walls indicate roof leaks.
Sagging Roof Areas: If your roof is sagging, it could be a sign of compromised roof structure.
Light coming through the attic: This means holes or weak spots.
Roof Algae or Moss: Moss or algae growth on your roof can lead to material deterioration.
Increased Energy Bills: Damage to your roof can lead to poor insulation, raising energy costs.
Roof’s Age: Roofs typically last 20–25 years; if yours is older, it could be time to replace it.
Storm damage: Storms with high winds or hail can lead to significant roof damage.

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

Here are several roofing materials to consider for your replacement:

Shingles Made of Asphalt: Asphalt shingles are widely used for their cost-effectiveness and longevity.
Metal Roof Options: Metal roofs provide durability and are ideal for both cold and hot climates.
Slate and Tile Roofing: Great for aesthetics and durability, especially in warmer areas.
Flat Roofing Options: Flat roof replacements often use TPO, EPDM, or PVC for durability and energy savings.
