Ignoring roof problems leads to costly damage. Here are the key signs that indicate it's time for a replacement:
- Curling or buckling shingles – Shingles that curl at edges signal advanced wear
- Missing shingles – Gaps expose your roof to water damage
- Granules in gutters – Excessive granules indicate deteriorating shingles
- Daylight through roof boards – Visible light means holes exist
- Sagging roof deck – A sagging roof indicates structural problems
- Persistent leaks – Multiple leaks suggest systemic failure
- Moss or algae growth – Traps moisture and damages roofing materials
- Higher energy bills – Poor ventilation and insulation drive up costs
- Roof age over 20 years – Most shingles reach end of life by this point
- Rotting or mold – Water damage inside your home is a serious warning
What To Do Next
If you notice any of these signs, schedule a professional inspection. A qualified roofer can assess whether repair or replacement is the best option.
