When Is It Time to Consider a Roof Replacement?

Knowing when it’s time to replace your roof isn’t always obvious. Without visible damage, it’s hard to tell what’s going on beneath the surface. If you weren’t the one who installed your current roof, you may not know when it was installed, who did the work, or what materials were used. That’s why a professional roof inspection is so important—it gives you clear answers about your roof’s condition and what to do next.

Key Elements to Consider:

• Age: Most roofs last between 15 and 70 years, depending on the materials used and the quality of the installation.
  
  • Asphalt shingle roofs: Typically last 15-30 years.
  • Cedar roofs: Lifespan of 30-50 years.
  • Metal roofs: Can survive 40-70 years with proper maintenance.
• Sagging Roof: Indicates a weakened roof structure that, if not repaired, could eventually fail or collapse.
• Curled, Blistering, or Missing Shingles: Signs of wear and tear that can let water into your home and damage the interior.
• Damaged Flashing and Seals: Cracked seals can let water in, which weakens your roof’s overall structure.
• Moss and Algae Growth: Can quickly spread, putting your health at risk and damaging your home’s structure.
• Sunlight Visible in Attic: Gaps between shingles let air escape, driving up your energy bills and creating openings for pests to enter your home.
• Energy Efficiency: A non–energy-efficient roof can drive up your heating and cooling costs. An energy-efficient new roof helps lower your bills by keeping your home cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
• Curb Appeal: A new roof improves your home’s curb appeal and can make it more attractive to future buyers if you decide to sell.

If your roof requires more and more repairs over time, consult our professional roofers. We can advise you on the next steps and help determine if a complete replacement is necessary.

Which Roofing Material Is Right for Me?

Choosing the right roofing material is a crucial decision. We've listed of some popular options:

Asphalt Shingles

Asphalt shingles are the most popular roofing material due to their affordability and wide range of colors and textures. Made from fiberglass mats with an asphalt coating, they are cost-effective and easy to install. They provide good weather protection but may be less effective against extreme temperatures or strong winds than more durable materials like metal.
