Is your roof due for a replacement? Ignoring the signs of roof wear can lead to costly damage. Let’s explore the key indicators, risks, and replacement options to keep your home safe and secure.
Signs of Roof Wear and Tear
- Missing or damaged shingles: Gaps in your roof can allow water to seep in.
- Shingles that Are Curled or Cracked: Shingles that curl or crack often point to an old roof needing replacement.
- Granules in the gutters: The presence of granules in the gutters means your shingles are losing their protective coating.

- Sagging Roof Areas: Sagging areas can indicate severe structural damage that needs immediate attention.
- Light coming through the attic: If light is visible through your attic, it’s a sign of roof damage.
- 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.
- Age of the roof: If your roof is over 20 years old, it may be time for a replacement.
