Even with regular maintenance, all roofs will eventually need repairs or full replacement. Being proactive about addressing roofing issues is critical - an aging or damaged roof that isn't fixed promptly can lead to much bigger problems like water damage, structural issues, and mold growth.
Here are some key signs that it's time to have your roof inspected and addressed:
Exterior Indicators
• Curling, buckling, or missing shingles/tiles
• Cracked or torn rubber boots around vents/pipes
• Excessive granule loss from asphalt shingles
• Moss or vegetation growth on shingles
• Storm damage from wind, hail, fallen branches
Interior Signs
• Water stains on ceilings or walls
• Peeling/bubbling paint
• Musty odors suggesting moisture problems
• Higher energy bills from poor insulation
• Daylight visible through roof boards in the attic
While a few cracked or missing shingles may just require a simple repair, seeing multiple issues is an indicator that the roof is reaching the end of its lifespan and full replacement is likely needed.
