ROOF REPLACEMENT SERVICES
A stitch in time saves nine. Ever heard that proverb? Well, when it comes to roofing and roofs, this couldn’t be any truer. A timely roof repair could be what saves you from incurring the costs of an entire roof replacement
SIGNS THAT YOU SHOULD YOU HAVE YOUR ROOF REPLACED
SAGGING ROOF
When your whole roof sags, it means that there is a structural problem with either the decking or the foundation support. It could also be caused by an improper roof installation.
If you find that the row lines on your roofing are not straight, your roof could be on the verge of collapse. You should call a roofing expert immediately to have it inspected and possibly replaced.
CURLING OR MISSING SHINGLES
Your roof’s shingles can curl in two ways. The edges can either curl upwards or look bloated and swollen in the middle. Curling shingles are a sign of aging and weathering. If your shingles have fallen off and are missing, chances are it won’t be long before the rest are blown away by a storm or strong wind. Reach out to an expert roofer to have your roof replaced.
LARGE GRANULE DEPOSITS IN THE GUTTER
The granules on your roof reflect radiation and heat from your roof. With time, the granules fall off as the roof endures abuse from the elements. While small amounts of granules in the gutter are no cause for alarm, large deposits mean that your roof`s effectiveness is deteriorating. You will need to replace your roof since it has outlived its usefulness.
DISCOLORED CEILINGS AND WALLS
Water stains on your walls and ceilings are a sign that moisture has made its way into your home. You may also notice persistent leaking or sunlight coming into your attic. The roof shouldn’t have entry points for light let alone water. Roofs with stains and leaks pose a risk of water damage and should be replaced.
AGE
Typically, well-maintained roofs can last up to 20 years. However, other factors like the layers of shingles on your roof, state of ventilation and whether it has been previously removed, come into play when deciding to replace your roof. If your roof is nearing its 20-25 years’ mark, it is time to plan for a replacement.
