The aging process and storm damage are the most common reasons you may need a new roof. If your current roof is failing, you should not delay replacement. If you wait too long, you may wind up with serious, costly damage to your home.
Keep on reading to find out how to tell if it’s time to get a new roof.
Your Roof Is More than 20 Years Old
Asphalt shingle roofing systems typically last between 20 to 30 years. If your asphalt roof is more than 20 years old, it’s a good idea to start budgeting for a roof replacement even if the system looks good from the outside.
Your Roof Is Leaking
Not all roof leaks are obvious. To look for signs of leaks, inspect your interior, checking for dark stains on the walls and ceilings, mold and rot. Next, go into your attic and check for light shining through the roof. If anything looks amiss, call your roofer ASAP for a more thorough inspection.
Damaged Shingles
Cracked, missing or loose shingles shouldn’t be ignored. These damaged shingles must be repaired promptly to prevent water damage. It’s also always a good idea to have your roof professionally inspected after a severe storm because roofing damage isn’t always obvious to the untrained eye.
