Shingle roofs can last for decades, but the time for replacement does come eventually. You don’t want to replace your roof sooner than needed, but putting off shingle roof replacement too long can damage your home.
Watch for these signs to know when you should call our professionals for a closer inspection:
- How old is your roof? In general, you should consider having our professionals evaluate your roof for potential shingle replacement if it’s at least 20 years old. Some roofs last longer than that, but a variety of factors can mean you need shingle roof replacement earlier.
- Is there visible damage? If you can get a good view of your roof while still on the ground, look for missing or damaged shingles. These can let water get into your roof, so you’ll likely need shingle roof replacement or repair.
- Are leaks entering your home? Roof leaks can be difficult to spot from the ground, so the first signs could appear inside your home. Water that gets into your roof can run down to ceilings and walls, leaving distinct discolored watermarks.
- Are your shingles losing granules? Granules are the rough bits of material that coat the shingles. They can come off over the years, leading to bald patches that affect your roof. If you notice these patches or see lots of granules in your gutters, it could be time for a shingle roof replacement.
