What’s all the fuss about roofing? The roofing contractors at Walter St Clair Roofing know that roofing services are often top priorities in the area of home improvements, which is why they're proud to offer a wide variety of high-quality roofing solutions to Cincinnati homeowners, including roof repair, gutter repair, and chimney care. But they also know that the million-dollar question on everyone’s mind is roof replacement: deciding when to replace your roof is a topic that’s easy to overlook, but ignoring the signs is a disaster in the making.

That's why you should call Walter St. Clair Roofing if you notice any of the following signs:

• Age: When your roof is nearing the 10 to 15 year-old range, don’t make the mistake of thinking it’s just a teenager; in roofing years, it’s definitely the time to call for a roof replacement.
• Poor shingles: If you have asphalt shingles, look for missing granules on the shingles and in the gutters. And, for all other shingle types, look out for missing, buckling, and curling shingles. Be sure to call an expert to assess your replacement scenarios.
• Rot and moss: Truthfully, any type of mold or mildew should be taken seriously. Look in gutters, corners, and on the roofing for trouble spots, as that’s usually a tell-tale indicator of where your roof's weak spots are. Think about replacing your shingles with mold-resistant varieties, and getting to the root of the problem.
• Ceiling spots: Simply put, there’s a leak in the roof. The first sign of leaking is usually a good indication that you need a roof replacement. Your roofing contractors will also need to find the source of your leak in your attic, and assess whether your roof’s structure is still sound.
• Termites: If you’ve had termite trouble, call in the tenting fumigators and have your roof replaced with termite-resistant materials. Hardly anything can cause as much damage as termites, and you’ll want to get your roof protected as soon as you’re able.
