5 Signs You Need A New Roof

1. Roofs are only only designed to last 15 to 20 years. If your roof is starting to approach this age, it may be time to schedule a licensed inspector to come take a look at your roof.
2. Problems With Your Flashing. Roof flashing is a thin material, usually galvanized steel, that professional roofers use to direct water away from critical areas of the roof. If the flashing around your chimney is bent or rusted, you will need to have it replaced. Waiting to long to find these problems can result in needing a new roof.
3. Curling or Buckled Shingles. Having a problem like this usually means that the sheathing beneath the shingles is getting wet and wrinkling up. In most cases, this will mean you need your roof replaced.
4. You See the Sunlight Through Your Roofing Boards. From time to time, you need to have a licensed professional go into the attic to see how your roof looks from the inside. If it is clear that you can see daylight or if there is moisture in your attic insulation, chances are you will need a new roof.
5. Pieces of Shingles in Your Gutters. Regularly check your gutters for debris clogging or pieces of shingles. If there are pieces of shingles in your gutter, it means that the roof’s integrity has been compromised and that you are missing vital components of your roofing system. The higher the risk you will have for leaks and eventually you will (You Guessed It!) need a new roof.
