Aging
As with anything that ages, the performance of a product begins to lessen over time. For your roof, this means you may experience drafts, leaks, and missing or damaged shingles. A standard roof made of asphalt or fiber shingles can last anywhere from 20 to 25 years. If your roof is approaching this timeline, it’s time for a replacement. While you can opt for a cheaper alternative, like repairs, with an aging roof, it will only cost you more in the long run as repairs will become more frequent.
Drafts
While everyone loves a fresh breeze of air, especially as spring approaches, unwanted drafts are a different story. Not only is this a sign of a leak or hole in your roof, but it forces your home’s air system to perform at a higher rate to meet your desired temperature preference. Drafts can cause energy-efficiency issues, leading to higher energy bills.
Missing or Damaged Shingles
While shingles may seem decorative, they act as a first line of defense against the elements. They offer durability, strength, and resistance to your roof. When shingles go missing or show signs of damage, such as cupping, curling, clawing, or cracking, it’s important to get them replaced. Shingles provide a waterproof barrier, protecting the interior of your home as well as the integrity of the home’s structure.
Sagging Roofline
One of the biggest telltale signs that your residential or commercial building needs a roof replacement is a sagging or drooping roofline. When inspecting your roof, look to see if it’s still leveled. If you notice it’s not, contacting your local roofing company should be a priority. This means there’s structural damage, and a professional roofer will have to peel back the layers of shingles and similar materials to get to the root of the cause.
Interior Water Damage
Whether you experience minor leaks or your beloved belongings are drenched, interior water damage is a clear sign that your roof needs to be either repaired or replaced. Water damage not only puts your items and belongings at risk but can cause damage to structural parts of your home and its electrical units, potentially leading to the risk of an electrical fire.
