10 Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Roof

Not sure whether your roof needs replacing? Watch out for these 10 signs to avoid bigger problems and costly repairs down the road.

Common Indicators of Roof Wear and Damage

Damaged or Missing Shingles: Gaps in your roof can allow water to seep in.
Shingles that Are Curled or Cracked: Shingles that curl or crack often point to an old roof needing replacement.
Gutters Full of Granules: Asphalt shingles losing granules signal wear.
Water Stains or Leaks: Visible spots on ceilings or walls indicate roof leaks.
Sagging areas: If your roof is sagging, it could be a sign of compromised roof structure.
Visible Light in the Attic: Light entering through the attic signals holes or weak points in your roof.
Moss and Algae Growth: Excess moisture can degrade materials over time.
Rising Energy Costs: Poor insulation from roof damage affects efficiency.
Roof’s Age: Most roofs last 20–25 years; older ones may need replacement.
Storm-Damaged Roof: 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.
