How to Tell If It’s Time for a Roof Replacement

Signs Your Roof Needs Replacing

✔ Damaged or Missing Shingles

Shingles are the outer layer of your roof that protects it from weather. If you see cracked, curled, or missing shingles, your roof may no longer be able to keep water out.

✔ Water Stains or Leaks

Water stains on ceilings or walls mean your roof is leaking. Leaks can cause mold, rot, and even damage the structure of your home or building if not fixed quickly.

✔ Old Roof

Most roofs last 20 to 30 years, depending on the material. If your roof is older than that, it might not work as well and could need replacing soon.

✔ Sagging Roof

A sagging roof is a serious problem. It means the structure underneath is weak and could collapse if not fixed right away.

✔ Granules in Gutters

Shingles have tiny granules that protect them from the sun. If you see these granules in your gutters, your shingles are wearing out and your roof might need replacing.

If you notice any of these signs, talk to a roofing professional. They can inspect your roof and let you know if it needs replacing.
