Not sure if you need a simple repair or a new roof installation? While a professional inspection is the only way to know for sure, here are the most common signs that your current roof has reached the end of its lifespan:
Age of the Roof: Most standard asphalt shingle roofs last between 15 and 25 years. If your roof is approaching this age, it is time to start planning for a replacement.
Curling, Cracked, or Missing Shingles: When shingles begin to cup or lose their structural integrity, they can no longer effectively shed water.
Significant Granule Loss: If you find excessive shingle granules in your gutters (often looking like dark sand), your shingles are losing their protective weatherproofing layer.
Sagging Roof Decking: A drooping or wavy roofline is a serious indicator of trapped moisture and rotting structural decking beneath the surface.
Frequent or Widespread Leaks: If you are constantly patching leaks in different areas of your home, a complete re-roofing is usually more cost-effective than continuous, ongoing repairs.
