Know When Your Roof Needs a Refresh
Your roof works tirelessly to protect your home from wind, rain, sun, and snow. Over time, even the best-built roofs can show signs of wear and tear. At J&M Roofing, we believe every homeowner should know the key signs that indicate it might be time to replace their roof. Here’s what to watch for.
1. Your Roof Is Over 20 Years Old
Roofs don’t last forever. Asphalt shingle roofs, the most common type, typically have a lifespan of 20-30 years. If your roof is approaching or has passed this age range, it’s time to consider replacement. Even if it seems fine at a glance, aging roofs are more prone to sudden leaks and structural damage.
2. Curled, Cracked, or Missing Shingles
Shingles are your roof’s first line of defense. When they begin to curl, crack, or go missing altogether, it leaves your roof vulnerable to water damage. Look up at your roof from the ground—if you notice any irregularities or missing sections, it’s a warning sign that your roof may need to be replaced.
3. Sagging Roofline
A sagging or drooping roofline indicates structural issues that require immediate attention. This is often caused by underlying damage to the roof’s framing or rotting wood from prolonged moisture exposure. If you spot a sagging roof, call J&M Roofing for a professional inspection before the issue becomes critical.
4. Persistent Leaks and Water Damage
Water stains on your ceilings or walls, mold growth, or drips during heavy rain are telltale signs of a leaking roof. While minor leaks can sometimes be repaired, consistent or widespread water damage is often an indicator of a larger roofing problem that may necessitate a replacement.
5. Granules in Your Gutters
When you clean out your gutters, you might notice a buildup of shingle granules. As shingles age, they shed these protective granules, making them less effective at keeping moisture out. Granule loss is a sign that your roof is nearing the end of its lifespan.
