4 Signs Your Roof Needs a Replacement

Many homeowners in the area consult our team at ImproveIT! of Atlanta when it comes to a roofing replacement. Over the years, we have dealt with different cases of deteriorating roofs that required an immediate replacement. Let us talk about the signs your roofing system is close to needing a roof replacement.

Uncontrollable Moss Growth

Moss growing between the shingles is common in areas with inadequate sunlight, leaving the shingles damp enough for moss to develop. If it has become troublesome keeping the moss in check, it means you’re due for a roof replacement instead of just a simple moss cleaning.

Roof Sagging

When a roof begins to sag due to the weather, it is time to schedule an inspection from your trusted roofing company, ImrpoveIT! of Atlanta. The deformity is caused by either trapped moisture or roting roof boards. If left unaddressed, your roof will only cause more problems, especially when the next storm hits the area.

Shingle Rotting

Roof shingles are the first line of defense against harsh elements. When they start to curl, crack or rot, you’ll definitely need to replace the shingles entirely. Of course, you wouldn’t want your roof to have mismatched shingles. It will not only affect the appearance of your roof, it can even negatively affect its performance.

Damaged Roof Components

Each component of a roofing system is valuable, including the flashing. This particular component leads rainwater away from the vents, skylights and chimneys. When it fails, it could lead to leaks, thus causing water damage inside your home. The constant flashing repairs might mean your roof is in dire need of a replacement.
