Is It Time to Replace Your Roof? 10 Key Signs to Watch Out For

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

Shingles That Are Missing or Damaged: Gaps in your roof can allow water to seep in.
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: Visible spots on ceilings or walls indicate roof leaks.
Roof Sagging: Sagging areas can indicate severe structural damage that needs immediate attention.
Visible Light in the Attic: If light is visible through your attic, it’s a sign of roof damage.
Moss or algae growth: Excess moisture can degrade materials over time.
Increased 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.
Storm-Damaged Roof: Strong winds or hail can cause immediate and severe issues.

If you wait too long to replace your roof, you risk extensive damage, mold issues, and increased repair bills.

Depending on your roof type, here are some common replacement materials:

Shingles Made of Asphalt: A cost-effective, durable choice for most homes.
Metal roofs: Long-lasting and ideal for various climates.
Roofing with Tile or Slate: Tile or slate roofs offer beauty and durability, particularly in warmer climates.
Roofing for Flat Roofs: Consider TPO, EPDM, or PVC membranes for efficiency.
