A good roof lasts for years with relatively little maintenance, so it’s easy to overlook signs it’s in need of help. Being able to spot some of the most common reasons for roof replacement can help you have the right roofing contractor lined up in advance. Here’s what you need to know.
Your Roof Shingles Are Damaged
If you’re able to see at least part of your roof from any windows in your home, it’s worth inspecting them visually. Signs of trouble include cracked, mis-aligned or missing shingles. Small depressions in the shingles left behind by hail is another red flag; these areas can be weakened by the impact of hail and are at risk of failing.
There’s a Ceiling Leak
Anytime there’s a ceiling leak in your home, it could be caused by a problem with your roof until proven otherwise. Roof leaks can come at any time, but are often due to damage, age, ice dams or pests that leave openings for
water to get through. Because water can travel so far from the place it gets into your home to where the ceiling leak is, you’ll likely need a roofer to identify the trouble spot.
Your Roof is Several Decades Old
Even with the best materials and highest levels of maintenance on your roof, time eventually takes a toll. Roofs that are several decades old are prime candidates for replacement. At that point, it’s not if your roof will fail but
when.
