Your roof does more than complete the look of your home—it’s your first line of defense against the elements. Over time, even the best roofing systems wear down. But how do you know when it's time to replace yours?

Here are 5 key signs your home might be ready for a new roof:

Missing or Damaged Shingles

Shingles that are cracked, curling, or missing can expose your roof to moisture and leaks. If you notice patches or debris around your home, it’s a red flag.

Leaks or Water Stains

Water spots on your ceiling or walls often mean the roof is compromised. Don’t wait—roof leaks rarely fix themselves and can lead to expensive interior damage.

Sagging Roofline

A drooping or uneven roofline could indicate structural issues, often caused by water damage or prolonged wear. This should be addressed right away by a roofing professional.

Moss, Mold, or Dark Streaks

Discoloration and growth on your roof may look harmless, but they can signal trapped moisture and potential rot beneath the surface.

Your Roof Is 15–20+ Years Old

Most asphalt shingle roofs have a lifespan of 15–25 years. If yours is approaching that age, it may be time for an inspection—even if there aren’t visible issues yet.
