5 Signs You Need a New Roof

How do you know when you need a new roof? Most people don’t spend too much time thinking about their home’s roof. It’s out of sight, out of mind. Unfortunately, neglecting your roof can cause major problems for the rest of your house.

Your Roof is Old

How old is your roof? Though it depends on the roofing material and the climate in your geographical location, the majority of roofs last between 20 and 25 years. If your roof is over 20 years old, it is probably at or near the end of its life. But do not wait 20 years to have your roof inspected. Under normal circumstances, your roof should be inspected at least once a year.

The Shingles are Damaged

When it comes to shingled roofs, look for shingles that are curled or buckled. This is a sure sign that it is time for a new roofing installation. Also, check for shingle granules in your gutters. This indicates that your shingles are too old.

The Chimney Flashing is Worn Down

Cement and tar flashing wears down over time. Make sure you take a good look at the flashing around your chimney. Metal flashing is usually a better option as it generally stays watertight.

You Can see Light

Look up at the roof boards in your attic. If you can see daylight peeking through, you definitely have a problem. A typical family spends about a third of its annual heating and cooling budget on air that leaks into or out of the house through unintended gaps and cracks. To save money and prevent roof leaks, you will certainly want to hire a roof service to do some serious roofing repair and maintenance.

Your Roof Leaks

Leaks are usually the first sign of roof failure and minor leaks can turn into big ones if not taken care of.

On average, homeowners spend up to four percent of a home’s value each year on maintenance and repairs, which tend to increase as time goes by. For a $200,000 home, that is at least $2,000 in repairs annually. Some of this will have to go towards roof repair or installation every few years.
