When the rainy season approaches, your roof becomes the first line of defense. A weak or failing type can lead to costly water damage and structural issues. Here are the top five signs that it may be time to replace your investment:
1. Curling or Missing Shingles
If shingles are curling, cracking, or missing altogether, water can easily seep through, causing leaks.
2. Frequent Leaks
Even small leaks can signal bigger problems. If leaks reappear after multiple repairs, replacement may be the smarter choice.
3. Sagging Roof Deck
A sagging type is a major red flag. It often means water damage or structural weakness that requires immediate attention.
4. Age of the Roof
Most asphalt types last 20–25 years. If your roof is approaching or past this age, consider a replacement before storms hit.
5. Visible Moss or Algae Growth
Excessive moss or algae not only looks unsightly but also holds moisture, weakening shingles over time.
💡 Pro Tip: Schedule an inspection before the rainy season to catch issues early and protect your investment.
