At Aztec Roofs, we want to help you keep your roof in the best possible condition. We offer a comprehensive range of services, including roof repair, maintenance, and replacement, and we have the right knowledge and experience to work on from clay tiles to asphalt shingles.
In this article, we want to focus on shingle roofs, and specifically on how to tell when it is time to get your shingle roof replaced. If you notice any of the following issues with your roof, we encourage you to give us a call to schedule a shingle roof replacement:
- Excess Granule Loss – One way to tell if it’s time for a shingle roof replacement is to examine your shingles to see how much asphalt remains on them. If your shingles have shed a significant amount of asphalt granules, it is most likely time to get your shingles replaced, as balding shingles are not effective at repelling water.
- Lifting Shingles – Another way to determine if you need a shingle roof replacement is to check if your shingles are flush with the roof, or if they are starting to lift, curl at the edges, or buckle. These are all signs that your shingles are becoming damaged and losing effectiveness, so we encourage you to get them replaced as soon as possible.
- Moss Growth – A third way to tell if you need a shingle roof replacement is to check your roof for moss, mold, mildew, or algae. These organisms love damp environments, so if they are present on your roof, you likely have an underlying moisture problem that needs to be addressed.
