Roofing Danger Signs

How do you know it’s time for a new roof?

It can be difficult to know when it’s time to replace the roof on your home. Below are some clear signs that it is time to have a roofing professional perform an inspection. We generally recommend having your roof inspected if it’s over 17 years old, in case some minor maintenance is needed to keep your home safe & dry.

Outside Indicators

• Missing or cracked shingles
• Curling, buckling or sagging shingles
• Loss of granules on shingles
• Stained shingles or algae growth
• Cracked, bent or missing flashing

Inside Indicators

• Water stains on ceilings or walls
• Water in attic after a heavy or driving rain
• Peeling or cracked paint
• Mold or mildew growth
• Excessive energy bills (poor ventilation can cause excessive heating/cooling bills)
