Your roof is one of the most important parts of your home, and it’s important to keep it in good condition.
Here are a few signs that you may need to repair or replace your roof:
1. Your roof is leaking. If you notice water stains on your ceiling or dripping during a rainstorm, there’s a good chance your roof is leaking and needs to be repaired or replaced.
2. Your shingles are cracked, curled, or missing. If you notice any damage to your shingles, it’s important to have it fixed as soon as possible to prevent further damage.
3. Your roof is sagging. If you see any sagging or drooping in your roof, it’s a sign that it’s not as structurally sound as it should be and needs to be repaired or replaced.
4. There is daylight visible through your roof. If you can see daylight coming through your roof, it means there are holes or gaps that need to be fixed.
5. You have a lot of moss or lichen growing on your roof. While this may not seem like a big deal, it can actually cause damage to your shingles and shorten the lifespan of your roof.
6. Temperatures are increasing in your home, or your utility costs are skyrocketing. This can happen when the insulation in your attic is no longer performing the way it should, or when your roof is improperly vented (two things that RPB roofing can fix).
7. You find shingle granules in your gutters, near your downspouts, or around the outside of your home. Shingle granules help your roof shed water, but they can wear off (or be knocked off by hail or other impacts, as well as be blown off by windy conditions). When that happens, your shingles can’t perform the way they should.
If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to call a professional roofing contractor to come and take a look. They will be able to assess the damage and give you an estimate for the repairs or replacement.
