Knowing when to replace your roof can be a daunting task. Most homeowners don’t check the state of their roofs until it begins to leak or cave in. Before it gets to this point, this video outlines some easy ways to know when your roof has outlived its usefulness and needs replacing.
When do you need a new roof? Quality roofing can last a very long time. However, as it is the natural order of things, it wears out at some point.
Before your roof becomes damaged beyond repair, there are several things you should know. First, if your roof is more than 20 years old and shows signs of cracked shingles, it is time to consider a replacement. Another sign is if you notice a build-up of moss or dark streaks on your roof decks. A simple hint is when your roof looks worn, leaks in several places, or looks old. You can identify these signs by simply looking at your roof. Missing granules on your roof surface are also signs of an old roof. All these are signs that you need a new roof.
