Common Indicators of Roof Wear and Damage

Shingles That Are Missing or Damaged: If shingles are missing or damaged, it opens the door for leaks and water intrusion.
Shingles that Are Curled or Cracked: Shingles that curl or crack often point to an old roof needing replacement.
Granules in the gutters: Asphalt shingles losing granules signal wear.
Leaks and water stains: Leaks and water stains on the interior are direct indicators that your roof needs attention.
Roof Sagging: Structural issues may be compromising your roof.
Light coming through the attic: Light entering through the attic signals holes or weak points in your roof.
Roof Algae or Moss: Moss or algae growth on your roof can lead to material deterioration.
Increased Energy Bills: An inefficient roof can result in higher energy bills due to poor insulation.
Roof’s Age: If your roof is over 20 years old, it may be time for a replacement.
