10 Indicators It’s Time for a Roof Replacement

Signs of Roof Wear and Tear

1. Shingles That Are Missing or Damaged: Missing shingles leave your roof exposed, leading to water damage.
2. Shingles that Are Curled or Cracked: Curled or cracked shingles are a common sign of roof aging.
3. Gutters Full of Granules: The presence of granules in the gutters means your shingles are losing their protective coating.
4. Roof Leaks and Stains: Water stains on ceilings or walls are a clear sign of a leaking roof.
5. Roof Sagging: Sagging areas can indicate severe structural damage that needs immediate attention.
6. Light Coming Through the Roof: If light is visible through your attic, it’s a sign of roof damage.
7. Moss and Algae Growth: Moss or algae growth on your roof can lead to material deterioration.
8. Increased Energy Bills: Damage to your roof can lead to poor insulation, raising energy costs.
9. Roof’s Age: Roofs typically last 20–25 years; if yours is older, it could be time to replace it.
10. Roof Damage from Storms: Storms with high winds or hail can lead to significant roof damage.

The Risks of Delaying Replacement
