Your roof is a crucial part of your home, protecting you from the elements and maintaining the structural integrity of your house. Knowing when it's time to replace your asphalt shingle roof can prevent costly repairs and damage. In this blog, we'll explore the top signs that indicate your roof needs replacement, specifically tailored to the unique weather conditions and challenges of Central Oregon.
Age of the Roof
One of the most straightforward indicators is the age of your roof. Asphalt composition shingles typically have a lifespan of 20-25 years. If your roof is nearing the end of its expected lifespan, it's time to start planning for a replacement.

Curling or Buckling Shingles

Improper Installation: Incorrectly installed shingles can age prematurely.
Ventilation Problems: Poor ventilation can cause shingles to overheat and deteriorate.
