Your roof is one of the most important components of your home, shielding you from weather and keeping your family safe. But roofs don’t last forever. Knowing when it’s time to replace your roof can save you from costly damage and expensive emergency repairs.
At Baba Roofing, we help Long Island homeowners recognize the key signs indicating roof replacement is necessary. In this post, we’ll cover the most common warning signals and what you should do next.
1. Age of Your Roof
Most roofs last 20-30 years depending on the material. Asphalt shingles, the most common roofing type, generally have a lifespan of around 25 years. If your roof is approaching this age or older, it may be time to consider replacement.
2. Missing or Damaged Shingles
Shingles that are cracked, curling, buckling, or missing expose your roof to water damage. High winds, storms, and general wear and tear can cause shingle damage.
3. Granule Loss
If you notice granules from your asphalt shingles accumulating in gutters or around your home’s foundation, this is a sign shingles are deteriorating.
4. Visible Sagging or Structural Issues
Sagging areas in your roof can indicate underlying structural problems or water damage that require immediate attention.
5. Water Damage or Leaks
Water stains on ceilings or walls, mold, or damp spots in your attic mean your roof is letting water in and may need replacement.
6. Increased Energy Bills
An aging or damaged roof loses insulation efficiency, making your heating and cooling systems work harder.
7. Daylight Through Roof Boards
If you can see light coming through your roof boards in the attic, your roof has gaps and needs repair or replacement.
