Introduction:
Your roof is one of your home’s most important defenses, but it won’t last forever. Whether it’s age, weather damage, or gradual wear, knowing when to replace your roof can save you from more expensive repairs down the line. Here are the most common signs to look out for.
1. Your Roof Is Over 20 Years Old
Most asphalt roofs last between 20–25 years. If your roof is approaching this age, even if it looks fine, it’s worth getting a professional inspection to assess its condition.
2. Shingles Are Curling or Missing
Curling, cracked, or missing shingles are clear signs your roof is deteriorating. These gaps can allow water to enter, leading to rot, mold, and interior damage.
3. You See Water Stains Indoors
If you’re noticing water stains on ceilings or walls, it’s often a sign of a roof leak. Even small leaks can lead to major structural damage and mold growth if left untreated.
4. Granules in the Gutters
If your gutters are filled with shingle granules, your roof may be losing its protective layer. Granule loss is common in aging roofs and signals reduced effectiveness against sun and rain.
5. Your Roof Just Looks Worn Out
A roof that looks uneven, patchy, sagging, or discolored can be more than just an eyesore—it may be structurally compromised.
