Aged Roof The first indication that you need to replace your roof with a new one is its age. Is your composite roof installed for more than two decades already? Then it may be time you need to have it replaced especially if it is installed over several layers.
Curling Shingles Over time, due to the changing weather conditions and heavy storms, the shingles on the roof will start to curl and buckle. It also gets visible as the condition worsens. While you can make amends by repairing it, the damage will never be undone especially if your roof is also nearing its life expectancy. It is better to have it replaced than gamble on a roof that may cause more costly damage in the future.
Missing Shingles Another warning sign that indicates that your roof needs to be replaced are the missing shingles. Check your roof after a strong wind or heavy storm, pay attention to the shingles and see if there are missing. If you notice missing shingles, call a professional roofing repair service right away to assess the condition of your roof and it is time to decide for a replacement.
Shingle Granules In The Gutter While you’re at it, might as well check for shingle granules as it is another sign that you need a new roof. Shingles that are damaged or worn out tend to shed granules quickly. Check your gutter and downspouts; if you see shingle granules accumulating, then it may be rational to have a new roof.
Worn Flashings Your skylights, vents, and chimneys have flashing around it which helps prevent rainwater and others from penetrating your home by sealing the seams. Due to extreme heat and heavy rain, the flashings may expand and contract resulting in cracks and breakage. When this happens, water can easily seep into your home causing leaks. For this, you can choose to upgrade your flashing to metal flashing as it is more durable or have your roof replaced.
