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
- Shingles That Are Missing or Damaged: Missing shingles leave your roof exposed, leading to water damage.
- Cracked or Curled Shingles: Often a sign of aging materials.
- Gutters Full of Granules: The presence of granules in the gutters means your shingles are losing their protective coating.
- Water Stains or Leaks: Leaks and water stains on the interior are direct indicators that your roof needs attention.
- Sagging Roof Areas: Sagging areas can indicate severe structural damage that needs immediate attention.
- Light Coming Through the Roof: This means holes or weak spots.
- Roof Algae or Moss: Moss or algae growth on your roof can lead to material deterioration.
- High energy bills: An inefficient roof can result in higher energy bills due to poor insulation.
- Roof’s Age: Roofs typically last 20–25 years; if yours is older, it could be time to replace it.
