How do you know when you need a roof repair or a complete roof replacement? When ceiling leaks on their own don’t provide enough information to answer, there are other signs you can watch out for. Price & Sons Roofing, Kernersville, NC’s leading roof installation experts, explain some of these signs below.

Major Shingle Damage & Weakened Roof Decking

You can spot shingle damage without even having to set foot on your roof. Standing on a secure ladder, take note of whether your shingles are curling, buckling, or missing granules. You may also require roof work if daylight gets through your attic or you notice signs of moisture damage.

Shedding Shingle Granules

It should raise a red flag if there are damaged or missing shingles on your roof valleys—which bear the bulk of rain and snow before it reaches the gutters. Other signs of shingle damage are visible from the ground, such as shingle granules accumulating in puddles, or pieces of shingles and flashing.

Old Roof Age & Warranty Periods

Most asphalt roofs last about two decades, depending on how well they were maintained, the manufacturer’s warranty, and whether the roof is actually an overlayment on top of an older roof. Generally, once they near the two-decade mark, asphalt roofs become more susceptible to moisture damage. Rubber roofing, another material installed by Price & Sons Roofing, can be warrantied for up to 30 years.
