Knowing when to replace your roof can prevent costly repairs and ensure your home remains protected. Common indicators that it’s time for a new roof include:
1. Your roof is over 15 years old and showing signs of wear, such as leaks or sagging.
2. Vegetation growth, like moss or algae, is evident, indicating moisture retention.
3. Discoloration or rotting is visible from your attic, a sign of water damage.
4. Shingle granules accumulating in gutters or on the ground point to deterioration.
5. Damaged shingles, including cracking, curling, or missing pieces, compromise protection.
6. The current roof material or style no longer aligns with your home’s aesthetic.
