Is It Time for a New Roof?

Identifying the signs that you might need a new roof is crucial for the safety and integrity of your home. Most roofs last between 20 to 25 years. If your roof is nearing this age or has surpassed it, it's time to start considering a replacement, especially if it was installed over an older layer of shingles. Here are key indicators that suggest it’s time to consider a replacement

Visible Damage

Shingles that are cracked, curled, or missing altogether can expose your home to water damage.

If you notice granules from the shingles accumulating in your gutters, it’s a sign that your roof is deteriorating.

Water Damage

Regular leaks in your attic or ceiling can indicate serious issues

Look for water stains or damp spots on your ceiling and walls, which can signal a failing roof.

Mold and Mildew Growth

Mold and mildew can form due to persistent moisture problems, hinting that your roof might not be effectively sealing out the elements.

Sagging Roof Deck

A drooping or sagging roofline is a serious issue and typically showcases structural problems that require immediate attention.

Rising Energy Bills

Higher-than-usual energy bills could suggest that your roof is losing its efficiency, allowing heat and cooling to escape from your home.

    Roof Replacement Guide

    Weather Damage That Could Make You Eligible for a New Roof

    When it comes to assessing if your roof needs replacement, several types of weather-related damage can significantly impact its condition. Understanding these can help you determine your eligibility for a new roof.


    Common Types of Weather Damage


    Water Damage from Leaks
     

    • Persistent leaks can cause severe damage to your home’s structure. If you notice water stains on your ceiling or walls, it’s a clear sign that your roof needs attention.

     

    Missing or Damaged Shingles

    • Missing shingles expose the underlying layers to the elements, leading to potential water damage and decreased insulation. Shingles can be ripped off by strong winds or become brittle and broken due to prolonged exposure to the sun and the elements.

    Curling or Buckling Shingles - These occur when shingles have aged or have been exposed to excessive moisture.


    Hail Damage
     

    • Hailstones can cause significant damage by puncturing or bruising shingles. Look for dents in metal components or bald spots in the shingles' granular coating.

    Wind Damage
     

    • High winds can lift or completely tear away shingles, exposing the roof deck to further damage. Debris carried by wind can also cause impacts and abrasions.

    Aging
     

    • Age of the Roof - Roofs over 10-15 years old are often considered for replacement, as they tend to lose their integrity over time. Older roofs are more susceptible to failure during severe weather events.


    Snow and Ice Damage
     

    • Heavy snow loads can cause structural strain, while ice dams can lead to water seepage under shingles.


    Signs You Shouldn't Ignore:

    • Granule Loss
      • If you notice granules in your gutters, your shingles are likely wearing out and may no longer protect against UV rays and water.
    • Sagging Roof 
      • This could indicate structural issues, usually resulting from prolonged water damage or rot.


    Assessing Your Roof


    Conduct a regular roof inspection or hire a professional to evaluate its condition. Proper assessment will help you identify problems early and decide whether a repair or a complete roof replacement is necessary.

    How Often Should a Roof Be Inspected?

    Maintaining the integrity of your roof is crucial for the overall health of your home. Experts generally recommend inspecting your roof annually to catch any potential issues early.


    Key Times to Inspect Your Roof


    • Annual Check-Up: Schedule a roof inspection once a year. This helps identify minor issues before they escalate into costly repairs.


    • After Severe Weather: Heavy storms, strong winds, and hail can cause unexpected damage. Always inspect your roof immediately following severe weather events to assess and address any damage.


    • Before Major Seasons: Conduct inspections before winter and summer. Harsh weather conditions during these seasons can exacerbate existing issues.


    By being proactive with regular inspections, you can extend the lifespan of your roof and prevent minor damages from becoming major problems.
