Signs You Need Roof Replacement

• Age of the Roof: Most asphalt roofs last between 20-25 years. If your roof is approaching or has surpassed that lifespan, it may be time to consider replacing it before it begins developing problems.
• Missing or Damaged Shingles: Visually check your roof on a regular basis, especially after a significant storm. Missing, cracked, or curling shingles are clear signs that your roof is deteriorating and may need replacement. You might also notice shingle granules in your gutters or your landscaping. This is a sign that your shingles are losing their protective coating. 
• Leaks or Water Damage: Not all signs that you need roof replacement will be on the exterior of your home. Water stains on your ceilings or walls, or visible leaks during stormy weather, are strong signs that your roof is no longer effectively protecting your home against the elements. Act quickly before you begin to develop mold.
• Sagging Roof: A sagging roofline is a serious issue that points to potential structural damage. If you see this issue, act immediately to keep your home and loved ones safe.
• Moss or Algae Growth: While not always a sign of immediate danger, persistent moss or algae growth on your roof can trap moisture and lead to rot, which can compromise your roof’s structural integrity. 
• Daylight Visible in Attic: If you can see daylight through the roof boards in your attic, it means there are gaps or holes that need to be addressed.
• Increased Energy Bills: Unexplained increases in your heating or cooling bills could indicate that your roof is not properly insulating your home. Replacing your roof can help you save money on your utility costs!
• Multiple Layers of Shingles: If your roof has multiple layers of shingles, it may be too heavy for the structure and could cause issues over time. It's often better to strip down to the decking and start fresh.

Knowing what to look for and acting quickly when you first notice these signs can help you take proactive measures to replace your roof before it develops more serious problems.
