No roof lasts forever. As a homeowner, it’s important to know how old your roof is and be aware of the common signs that indicate it may be time to replace it.
In today’s post, the roofers at Four Star Roofing share four signs that say it’s time to have your old roofing system replaced.
-
Granules Are in the Gutter – If your roof is brand new and you find granules in the gutter, then there’s no cause for alarm as it’s normal for new roofs to shed a few granules shortly after installation. However, if your roof is more than a few decades old and granules are piling up in your gutters, this is a sign that your roof is approaching the end of its lifespan.
-
Your Roof is More than 25 Years Old – Most asphalt shingle roofing systems nowadays last around 20-25 years. You may be able to extend this a little by being proactive about maintenance repairs. However, if your roof is more than 25 years old, residential roofers recommend that you begin budgeting for replacement.
-
The Roof Is Sagging – If your roof is sagging, have an expert roofer replace it as soon as possible. A sagging roof is a serious problem that indicates the roof’s structural integrity has been compromised.
-
Your Shingles are Curling – Finally, if there’s widespread curling in your shingles, take it as a sign that your roof needs a replacement. If you leave curled shingles unattended, your roof will be vulnerable to leaks, which in turn can compromise your roof’s structure.
