When to Replace Roof Shingles

If you’re unsure if it’s time for a roof replacement at your home, don’t delay any longer than you have to. Living with a roof that is no longer functioning as intended can result in many long-term issues at your home. That is why it’s important to know how long it’s safe to put off a roof replacement.  Here are some common  signs to look for so that you can determine whether you should reach out to a roofing contractor for a replacement.

How to Tell If You Need a New Roof

1. Check for Signs of a Roof Leak in Your Attic

Many homeowners think that if you’re trying to determine whether you need a new roof that the first place you should check is the exterior of your home. However, oftentimes some of the most obvious damage is most easily viewable from your attic. To start examining the condition of your roof, head up to your attic and search for any beams of light coming through the top of the house or stains and streaks which can signal a leaky roof. 

2. Look for Bad Roof Shingles

After, head outside and examine your shingles. Are they lying flat against the roof like they’re supposed to? Take special note of any patches that are cracked, damaged, or buckling. If you see any of these signs, then repairs are in order. 

3. Shingle Granule Loss

At the same time, take a look at your gutters and downspouts for any shingle granules, especially after a storm or heavy wind. Any roof that is losing a lot of granules is nearing the end of its useful life. 

4. Roof Water Damage

Finally, observe if your roof is droopy or sagging due to trapped moisture, rotting boards, or sagging spots. If any of these warning signs are evident, it is no longer a good idea to put off a roof replacement any longer.
