Is your roof failing?
Don’t ignore these tell-tale warning signs that you need a new roof. Waiting to replace your roof can have dire consequences. If you notice any of these seven signs at your home, it means your roof is need of replacement.
1. Leaky attic.
Wind-driven rains and severe storms can cause your attic to experience leaking. Inadequate insulation can also cause ice dams to form allowing water to start entering your home through your attic.
2. Paint blistering and peeling.
Excessive temperatures and high humidity levels can cause moisture to get trapped in your home causing your interior and exterior paint to start peeling and blistering.
3. Mold and mildew stains.
Mold and mildew thrive in environments where excessive moisture is present. Failed roofing underlayment will result in water penetrating into your home.
4. Exterior decay.
If you’re noticing exterior decay, it’s frequently a signal that your attic lacks proper levels of ventilation.
5. Curled, cracked, or missing shingles.
Any of these scenarios mean that your roof is no longer providing an effective barrier against Mother Nature. Cracked shingles mean your roof has reached the end of its lifespan.
6. Dark and dirty looking roof.
Shingles that are covered in any sort of algae growth or fungus are in need of replacement. GAF Asphalt Shingles offer StainGuard® protection making this type of thing happening to you new roof a thing of the past.
7. Rising energy costs.
High cooling and heating costs are a tell-tale sign of inadequate attic ventilation causing your energy bills to rise.
8. Age
While the GAF roofs we install come with a 50-year, non-prorated warranty on both labor and materials, most others do not. Asphalt roofs as young as 20-years-old can need replacement due to inferior shingle quality or subpar installation.
