What are some signs that would indicate getting my roof checked for replacement?
1. When shingles are curled, cracked, or absent, these are indicators that the shingles are nearing the end of their lifespan. You should consider getting your roof replaced if there are many shingles that are curled, cracked or gone.
2. Shingles that are dark, dirty, or wet are an indication that the shingles are allowing moisture to be trapped, and are not doing their job. Trapped moisture will eventually cause mold and rot issues.
3. Finding lots of shingle granules in gutters from composite or asphalt shingles indicate they are starting to wear out. These granules can be found in your gutter and like coarse, black sand.
4. Deterioration may initially develop around roof objects and openings such as chimneys, vents, pipes, and other objects that penetrate your roof and can cause significant damage over time.
5. Damage from tree branched falling on your roof.
6. If you have staining on interior ceilings or walls, this can indicate that your roof’s underlayment may be allowing moisture into your home, which leads to the stains. Replacing your roof will solve this problem.
7. After a rainstorm, if rain is getting into your attic, it may be simply a question of replacing some flashing, but if it’s a lot of rain, then most likely the culprit is a porous underlayment, which indicates maybe needing a roof replacement.
8. A roof deck that is sagging. Sagging decking or rafters in your attic instead of remaining straight, may be wet from leaking moisture.

- Metal roofs can last for 40-70 years, significantly longer than asphalt shingles, which typically last 12-20 years.
- They are more resistant to damage from wind, hail, and other extreme weather conditions.
