Knowing when to replace your roof can save you from costly repairs and protect your Central Oregon home. Here are some signs that it might be time for a roof replacement.
1. Age of the Roof
If your roof is approaching or exceeds its expected lifespan, it may be time for a replacement. Most asphalt shingles last between 15 to 30 years, while metal roofs can last 40 to 70 years.
2. Missing or Damaged Shingles
Shingles that are missing, cracked, or curling are a clear sign that your roof needs replacing. Damaged shingles compromise the roof’s ability to protect your home.
3. Frequent Leaks
If you experience frequent leaks or water stains on your ceilings and walls, it may indicate that your roof is no longer providing adequate protection.
4. Granule Loss
Check your gutters for a buildup of granules. Granule loss from shingles indicates that they are deteriorating and may need replacement.
5. Sagging Roof Deck
A sagging roof deck is a serious issue that may indicate structural damage. If you notice sagging, it’s important to address it promptly with a roof replacement.
6. Increased Energy Bills
If your energy bills have increased significantly, it could be due to a roof that is no longer providing adequate insulation or ventilation.
7. Visible Water Damage
Signs of water damage, such as mold or mildew, on the roof or inside your home, can indicate that your roof is failing and needs replacement.
If you notice any of these signs, it’s time to contact Ascent Roofing and Exteriors for a professional roof replacement.
