Signs It's Time for a New Roof

Knowing when to repair versus replace your roof can be a difficult decision. While minor issues can be addressed with repairs, a full replacement is often the most cost-effective and secure option in the long run. Here are some key signs that it's time to consider a roof replacement:

• Age of the Roof: A typical asphalt shingle roof has a lifespan of 20-25 years. If your roof is approaching or has exceeded this age, it's likely time for a replacement, even if it doesn't show obvious signs of damage.
• Widespread Shingle Damage: If a large number of your shingles are curling, cracking, or missing, it's a sign that the entire roof is deteriorating. Widespread damage is often more efficiently and cost-effectively addressed with a replacement rather than piecemeal repairs.
• Sagging Roof Deck: A sagging or drooping roofline is a serious structural issue. This can be caused by extensive water damage or a weakened support structure, and it indicates that the roof is no longer safe or functional.
• Visible Light in the Attic: If you can see daylight coming through your roof boards from the attic, it means there are holes or gaps in your roof. If this is a widespread issue, a full replacement is the recommended course of action.
• Granule Loss: For asphalt shingle roofs, excessive granule loss is a clear indicator that the shingles have lost their protective coating. This makes them less resistant to UV rays and weather, and it's a sign of a roof nearing the end of its life.
• Recurring Leaks: If you're constantly dealing with leaks in different areas of your home, it's a strong sign that the overall integrity of your roof has failed. A replacement is often the only way to solve this persistent problem for good.
