Is your roof due for a replacement? Ignoring the signs of roof wear can lead to costly damage. Let’s explore the key indicators, risks, and replacement options to keep your home safe and secure.
How to Spot Roof Damage Early
- Missing or damaged shingles: If shingles are missing or damaged, it opens the door for leaks and water intrusion.
- Shingles that Are Curled or Cracked: Shingles that curl or crack often point to an old roof needing replacement.
- Gutters Full of Granules: The presence of granules in the gutters means your shingles are losing their protective coating.
- Leaks and water stains: Water stains on ceilings or walls are a clear sign of a leaking roof.
- Sagging Roof Areas: Sagging areas can indicate severe structural damage that needs immediate attention.
- Light Coming Through the Roof: Light entering through the attic signals holes or weak points in your roof.
- Moss and Algae Growth: Moss or algae growth on your roof can lead to material deterioration.
- Increased Energy Bills: Poor insulation from roof damage affects efficiency.
- Age of the roof: Roofs typically last 20–25 years; if yours is older, it could be time to replace it.
