Not sure whether your roof needs replacing? Watch out for these 10 signs to avoid bigger problems and costly repairs down the road.

Common Indicators of Roof Wear and Damage

Missing or damaged shingles: Missing shingles leave your roof exposed, leading to water damage.
Curled or cracked shingles: Often a sign of aging materials.
Granules in the gutters: Granules in the gutters indicate your shingles are deteriorating.
Roof Leaks and Stains: Leaks and water stains on the interior are direct indicators that your roof needs attention.
Roof Sagging: If your roof is sagging, it could be a sign of compromised roof structure.
Light Coming Through the Roof: Light entering through the attic signals holes or weak points in your roof.
Moss and Algae Growth: Moss or algae growth on your roof can lead to material deterioration.
High energy bills: An inefficient roof can result in higher energy bills due to poor insulation.
Roof’s Age: Roofs typically last 20–25 years; if yours is older, it could be time to replace it.
Storm damage: Storms with high winds or hail can lead to significant roof damage.

Postponing roof replacement can cause serious damage, such as mold, structural issues, and escalating repair costs. Don’t wait until it’s too late.

Here are several roofing materials to consider for your replacement:

Asphalt shingles: Affordable and durable, asphalt shingles are a great choice for many homes.
