Ten Signs That Your Roof Needs To Be Replaced

Your home is one of the largest investments that you will make in your lifetime. Keeping that in mind, it would make perfect sense to protect it. You took care of your kitchen. You did the kids’ room. You did your bathrooms. But did you look up and see how the roof looks? Most people don’t, nor do they even know what to look for! If you wait until water is running in, it is too late.

Here are 10 signs that you need, or will soon need, to replace your roof:

1. The roof is over 25 years old
2. You keep finding chunks of shingles in the yard after heavy winds
3. Shingles are missing in spots
4. Edges are broken or jagged
5. There are excessive sprinkles in the gutters or driveway
6. The lines or keyways are lifting or buckled
7. You find spider cracks in the shingles
8. There are leaks or water trails in the attic
9. Excessive moss is growing on the shingles
10. Leaks are evident on the ceilings or walls. This is usually what homeowners wait to see. This generally means that rotted wood is involved

I recommend a roof inspection on a regular basis to nip problems in the bud; it can be costly to wait too long.
