Look for these most commons signs that you need a new roof.
- Roof age – How old is your existing asphalt shingle roof? Most experts agree that a typical roof will last between 20 and 25 years.
- Shingles – Curling and buckling Curled or buckling shingles are another sign that you may need a new roof, not a roof repair.
- Roof valleys – Valleys are one of the most important areas of your roof. Snow and rain flow through valleys and into gutters. Once the valley is compromised, you can be susceptible to roof leaks.
- Missing shingles – Check to see if all of the shingle “tabs” are intact.
- Chimney flashing – If your flashing consists of roof cement or tar, it may need to be replaced with a long-term, water-tight fitting, which would be a metal flashing system.
- Shingle granules – In the gutters and on your driveway surface Look in your gutters to see whether they are loaded up with shingle granules. Roofs tend to lose more granules toward the end of their life cycle.
