Warning Signs of Your Current Roof
When was the last time you examined your roof? Has your roof ever been replaced? Do you know when it is time to replace your roof? Do you feel as though your roof is safe and protects your home? While checking on your roof may not be your top priority in day-to-day life, it is important to be aware of the signs that your current roof is causing danger to your New Jersey home and your family. Your roof can experience extreme wear and tear over the years if it is not properly maintained. With that being said, it is completely normal for homeowners to forget to keep up with their roof’s maintenance. If the condition of your roof is out of sight, it is most likely out of mind. Forgetting about your roof can lead to problems with the rest of your home and require pricey repairs. So you may be asking yourself “When to replace my roof?”
When to Replace a Roof
You are not going to wake up one day with a concaving roof. Your roof gradually begins to wear over time. Looking out for the warning signs of your roof failing will save you time, money, and prevent serious damages. First, ask yourself, “How old is my roof?” Most roofs typically last 20 to 25 years. When your roof is near the end, you will start to notice the below signs.
One sign may be missing shingles. Shingles can fall off due to a storm and harsh weather, but if you are noticing randomly lost shingles, it may be time to consider replacing your roof. Some other indications that your shingles are failing include if they are popping up or nails are being exposed or if they begin to curl, crack, or blister. If it is not properly taken care of, harmed shingles will cause roof leaks. How does the color of your roof look? If you are noticing dark or dirty areas, it may be caused by algae or moss growth which needs to be taken care of as soon as possible. Also, check your gutters! They can help you spot roof problems early on. When shingles are damaged, they begin to lose their granule covering that protects your home. If you are seeing granules or sand filling up your gutters or laying in your yard, your roof is in danger. Water damage inside your home, a sagging roof, missing flashing, and an increase or decrease in your heating and cooling bill can all be warning hints that your roof needs help!
