Like any part of your home, the roof will start to deteriorate with time. As our team at Chico Roofing Company knows, understanding when it’s time to schedule a residential roofing replacement can save you a lot of headaches.
We’ve put together this list of the top signs that indicate you’ll need a residential roofing replacement soon. Check them out, and don’t hesitate to contact us if you have questions or concerns about your roof.
- Damaged Shingles – A few curling or broken shingles don’t necessarily mean you need to replace them all, but if there are widespread problems with the shingles, you’ll want to schedule a residential roofing replacement to prevent water intrusion.
- Leaks & Water Damage – If you’re noticing water damage inside your home, that means that the roof has been significantly damaged. Even small leaks can quickly spiral into much more serious problems, so make sure you take prompt action to repair the issue.
- Aging Materials – Most asphalt shingle roofs have an average lifespan between 20 to 25 years. Factors like climate, maintenance, and installation quality will all impact the lifespan, but if you know your residential roofing is over 15 years old, you should schedule an inspection to check its condition.
- Sagging or Drooping – This is one of the most significant signs of roofing problems, so don’t ignore a sagging roofline. The droop is likely caused by compromised support beams or rot, and problems of that severity will require a residential roofing replacement.
- Excessive Granule Loss – Noticing a few asphalt shingle granules in the downspout every now and then isn’t too much to worry over, but if you see large quantities or notice them after every rain shower, that means the shingles are rapidly deteriorating and will require prompt replacement.
