Top Signs Your Roof Needs Repair or Replacement
Your Roof Is Your Home's First Line Of Defense Against The Elements
1. Missing or Damaged Shingles
High winds, hail, and heavy rain can all knock shingles loose or cause cracking, curling, or granule loss. If you notice bare patches or shingles that don’t lie flat, it’s time to schedule an inspection. Damaged shingles leave your roof vulnerable to leaks and rot.
2. Water Stains on Ceilings or Walls
If you see discoloration, bubbling paint, or sagging drywall indoors, your roof may be leaking. Even small leaks can lead to mold, structural damage, and insulation issues. Don’t ignore these signs — what starts as a drip can quickly escalate into a major problem.
3. Sagging Rooflines
A sagging roof is a serious issue that may indicate rotting wood, structural failure, or water saturation. If your rooflines are no longer straight, call a professional immediately. This often means it’s time for a replacement, not just a repair.
4. Moss or Algae Growth
While it may seem harmless, moss traps moisture against your shingles, leading to decay over time. Algae streaks can also be a sign of aging shingles losing their protective granules. Both are signs your roof is deteriorating and may need attention.
5. Your Roof Is Over 20 Years Old
Even if your roof looks fine from the ground, age matters. Most asphalt shingle roofs last between 20–25 years. If your roof is approaching or past that range, a professional inspection can determine if it’s time for an upgrade.
