Your roof is your home’s first line of defense—but how do you know when it’s time for a replacement? Waiting too long can lead to costly damage, while replacing too early isn’t budget-friendly. Here are five clear signs your roof may be ready for an upgrade:
If you notice curled, cracked, or missing shingles, your roof’s protective barrier is compromised. Wind, rain, and hail can easily worsen the damage.
Water spots on ceilings or walls often indicate a leaky roof. Even small leaks can lead to mold growth and structural issues.
As asphalt shingles age, they shed granules. If you’re seeing black, sand-like particles in your gutters, your shingles may be wearing down.
A sagging or dipping area on your roof could signal rot or weakening support structures—a serious red flag that needs immediate attention.
Most roofs have a lifespan of 15 to 30 years, depending on materials. If your roof is nearing that range, a professional inspection is a smart move.
