Every homeowner faces this crucial question at some point: When is the right time to replace the roof? Waiting too long can lead to damage and costs, while replacing too soon might not be a wise financial decision.
Know When It’s Time To Replace Your Roof
Here’s what Petra General Services advises:
Age of Your Roof
Typically, residential roofs have a lifespan of 20 to 30 years. If your roof is nearing this age, it might be time for a complete replacement.
Frequency of Repairs
If you find yourself continually patching up areas of your roof or dealing with persistent leaks, it may be more cost-effective to replace the roof entirely.
Shingle Damage
If shingles are curling, buckling, or missing, these are clear indicators that they’re nearing the end of their life expectancy and replacement should be considered.
Sagging Roof
If the roof of your home is showing signs of sagging, this is a very serious sign. If your roof is sagging, especially in the valleys, it may be a structural issue and requires immediate attention.
Daylight Through the Roof Boards
Another very concerning sign that will require immediate attention is if you can see daylight peeking through the boards in your attic or if the insulation is wet. These are strong indicators of a failing roof that require immediate attention.
