You may know you need a new roof by some very obvious signs. Water could be dripping through your ceiling. Your ceiling might be stained from water damage. If these are any of your problems you have waited too long to get your roof replaced. You want to always have a new roof installed before there is any interior damage.
Having to replace drywall and ceilings is a costly expense – and then you have to deal with getting it all painted to match your existing paint! There are several things to look for to catch your roofing problems before they cost you even more money.
Things to look for in determining if you need a new roof:
- Your shingles are curling at the edges.
- There is mold and algae on your roof.
- You find bits of shingles on the ground after a windy day.
- The paint on the wood or area around your roof is peeling or flaking.
- Your roof is over 15 or 20 years old.
- Your gutters have a lot of shingle granules in them You can also visually check the shingles to see if the granules are wearing off.
- Your shingles appear blistered.
- Your shingles are buckling. This can be caused by improperly installed felt under the shingles or your roof deck is rotting.
- Sagging roof deck between the rafters.
- Water stains in your attic. Look for dark spots – especially around chimneys and vents.
