Once your roof has reached the end of its life span, you need to replace it in a timely manner. A failing roof won’t just affect your curb appeal; it can cause serious water damage throughout the entire home. Below are a few signs that indicate your system is on the decline, so you can get a new roof as soon as possible.

3 Signs It’s Time for a Roofing Replacement

1. Shingle Trouble

Shingles will start to deteriorate, which can result in a few different issues. Some may fall off completely to reveal the decking underneath, while others might curl up at the edges or buckle in the middle. Cracks may also appear. As asphalt shingles deteriorate, the granules will fall off, accumulating in your gutters and leaving bald spots on the roofing.

2. Age

The expected life span of your roofing will depend on its material. For example, asphalt shingles usually fail around the 20-year mark, while aluminum systems last for around 50 years. Know the expected life expectancy for your roofing, and check when it was installed. If it’s reaching that age, invest in a new roof rather than wasting money on extensive repairs.

3. Trapped Moisture

When moisture gets trapped underneath the roofing, it can cause a lot of damage. Check on the top and underside of the roof for sagging spots or rotting boards. Algae and moss may start to grow between the shingles, beginning with the areas of the roof that are most covered by the shade.
