4 Telltale Signs It’s Time for a Roof Replacement
Spring is the perfect time to assess your roof’s condition and see if it’s time to replace it. But what should you look out for that might suggest it needs replacing? Here are 4 signs it’s time to call your trusted roofing contractor:
Age
The first thing to pay attention to is your roof’s age – typically, a well-built asphalt shingle roof will last around 20 to 25 years. If your roof is at the end of its lifespan, it is probably wise to go ahead and do the replacement now, to ensure you are keeping up with the necessary maintenance of your home.
Missing or Curled Shingles
Another telltale sign that you need to consider the roofing replacement this spring is missing or curled shingles. If you see several patches of roofing without shingles or shingles that are starting to curl, this indicates that there is some sort of damage and the roof is not functioning properly. It is important to address these issues before they become worse and costlier repairs.
Moss and Algae
A third sign that it might be time to replace your roof is the presence of moss and algae. These things don’t just look unsightly on your roof, but can actually cause damage to it that can lead to leaks if not properly addressed. If you see signs of moss and/or algae, it may be time to get a roof replacement.
Daylight Spots
The final sign that it is time for a roof replacement this spring is daylight spots in your attic when you shine a light directly on the roof. This is a sign that there is an area where the roof is not sealed properly, and likely requires repair.
