Your roof, by its very nature, is situated on the top of your house. This allows it to protect your home from the sun, the rain, the wind, and all the other elements that might beat against it over the course of the year. But, while this is useful, it also means that it can be difficult to know when your roof might need repairs or even re-roofing.
However, there are a few ways that you can tell you need re-roofing without having to be an expert in roofing jobs or getting up on top of the roof to take a look for yourself:
- Light or water is getting in through your roof. It’s easy to see there are issues with your roof if you step into the attic and see light shining through. Another telltale sign is water dripping into the home when it rains. Each of these points to a possible need for re-roofing.
- You’re getting granules in your gutters. When completing regular gutter cleaning, if you find little granulated bits of what look like parts of your shingles, this means your roof is slowly breaking apart and will likely need to be replaced.
- Your shingles are curling, cracked, or missing. If you notice any deformities in your shingles, such as those listed above, it’s a good idea to give us a call about re-roofing.
If you find yourself in need of re-roofing, make sure to call professionals like us here at Aztec Roofs to make sure that the job is done properly, safely, and with an eye for longevity.
