Is It Time for a New Roof?

When the weather outside is frightful, you’re thankful that you have a roof over your head to protect you. A roof is the first line of defense against the elements; it shields the entire contents of your house – and you – from inclement weather, severe temperatures, and the harsh UV rays of the sun. In other words, the roof is one of the most important parts of your home. However, like any other part of your house, a roof doesn’t last forever. Constant exposure to severe conditions, age, and poor-quality materials and subpar installation are just some of the factors that can contribute to roof issues.

Whether the result of natural degradation, weather-related damage, or improper installation, as soon as you detect a problem with your roof, you need to act fast and have a new one installed. But how do you know when it’s time to replace your roof? Here are some telltale signs that indicate you should get in touch with a reputable roofing contractor right away.

Age

The average lifespan of a roof is 15 to 20 years. If the structure is approaching or has exceeded the average life expectancy, you should seriously consider having it replaced. The older a roof, the greater the risk that issues will occur; some of which can be serious.

Leaking

Have you been experiencing active leaks coming through your ceilings? Do you see discolored spots on the upper reaches of your interior walls and ceilings? If so, it’s time to look into getting a new roof. There are several factors that can contribute to leaks, such as missing shingles and/or flashing, clogged cutters, or improperly installed sheathing. Whatever the cause, if your experiencing leaks, a new roof may be necessary.

Sagging

Stand outside, take a few steps away from your house, and examine the roof. Does it look like it’s sagging anywhere? Sagging can occur as a result of improper installation, poor-quality materials, age, or exposure to extreme conditions, like heavy snow and ice build-up. No matter the reason, if your roof is sagging, you’re going to want to make arrangements to have a new one installed.
