Signs You Need a Roof Repair or Replacement
When was your roof last replaced?
Most people don’t really think about the roof…until it springs a leak! Don’t wait until water is pouring through the ceiling to pay attention to your roof.
Knowing when a roof was installed (and materials used) allow you to determine how much life it has left. A typical asphalt shingle roof lasts 20 to 25 years, while a roof installed over an existing layer of shingles should be replaced after 20 years.
Signs You Need a New Roof
Shingles
Shingles should lie flat against the roof. Patches of cracked, damaged, or buckling shingles indicate repairs are in order. A roof losing lots of granules may be at the end of its useful life. If you see shingle granules in the gutters and downspouts, have you roof inspected.
Flashing
The flashing seals the seams of the roof from rain and weather. In older homes, flashing is often made of roof cement or tar, but it's a good idea to upgrade to a metal flashing system for added durability. Cracks or breaks in the flashing could lead to leaks around vents, skylights, and chimneys.
Sagging surface
A droopy, sagging roof is one that needs replacing before further damage occurs to your home. Any signs of trapped moisture, rotting boards, or sagging spots on the surface warrant a professional look.
Moss, mold, or other fungi
Moss, mold, and fungi on your roof indicates there may be trapped moisture, which can ruin a roof. Not only should this vegetation be removed, but the underlying problem should be addressed by a professional roofer.
Roofing Repair vs Replacement
Just because you have a few damaged shingles or even a leak, don’t automatically translate into the need for a whole new roof. If your roof has been properly installed and is younger than 15 or 20 years old, it may get by with repairs rather than a full replacement.
