A full-service contractor for all of your roofing and remodeling needs
A roof provides protection from the elements and ensures the safety of the inhabitants. Over time, a roof may start to deteriorate and develop issues that could compromise its functionality.
Here are some signs to look for to determine if it’s time to replace your roof.
Age: The age of your roof is one of the most critical factors in determining if it needs replacement. Generally, a well-maintained roof lasts around 20-25 years.
Curling, buckling, or missing shingles: If you notice that your shingles are curling, buckling, or missing, it’s a sign that your roof is reaching the end of its lifespan. These issues can allow water to seep under the shingles and cause significant damage to the underlying structure.
Damaged flashing: Flashing is the metal or plastic material that seals the edges and joints of your roof. If you notice any cracks or damage to your flashing, it’s a sign that your roof may be leaking.
Sagging roof deck: A sagging roof deck is a sign that your roof has sustained significant water damage. This can happen if your roof has been leaking for an extended period. If you notice any sagging, it’s crucial to have your roof inspected by a professional immediately.
High energy bills: If your energy bills have been steadily increasing, it could be a sign that your roof is no longer adequately insulating your home.
Replacing your roof may seem like a daunting task, but it’s a necessary investment that can save you from more significant expenses in the future. If you notice any of the signs mentioned above, it’s time to consider a replacement.
