How to know when its time for a new roof?
You may not think about your roof on the daily, but a reliable roof is extremely important for you and your family. Your roof protects you from all the outside elements like snow and rain and helps keep you warm and cozy at night. Most homeowners do not regularly inspect their roof, and they wait until something happens such as a leak in the ceiling. It can sometimes be hard to understand when you need a completely new roof, so here we will break-down some obvious signs it is time for a replacement.
Age: Just like with anything your roof as a life span, typically a roof can last homeowners up to 20 years. If you are getting close to that time, contact us for a roof inspection and let our experts look.
Roof Leaks: If your roof is leaking into your home this is a sure sign its time to replace the shingles. Even the smallest leak can grow into a much larger issue causing damage to your property.
Roof Cracks: Are the shingles starting to crack? This is often caused by wind damage if you see multiple cracked areas on the roof, it’s time for an inspection to see what areas need to be replaced.
Missing or Broken Shingles: If you see any signs of missing shingles or damaged shingles this indicates that you are not being properly protected. Patches of missing shingles can cause leaks and the roof should be replaced.
Hail Damage: If you live in an area with major rainstorms, hail can cause serious damage to your roof. High speed winds can rip off shingles and expose areas of your roof. Over time small dents from hailstorms can cause leaks.
Curling Shingles: Over time shingles can start to curl and break after years of wear and tear caused by heat and moisture. You want to make sure you have proper attic ventilation to help prevent curling shingles.
