The roof of your home is more important than most people realize. It helps protect all of your belongings and your family. An old roof may leak, resulting in toxic mold growing throughout your home. Knowing when to contact a local roofer for a roof replacement is crucial. Let's take a look for more information!

1. Age

How old your roof is can tell you whether it's time for a replacement and regular inspections. According to Bob Vila, roofs older than 20 should be inspected to see if they need to be replaced. An annual roof inspection can alert you of problems before they become more significant and ensure you know when you need a new roof before it's too late.

2. Sagging Areas

A sagging roof almost always calls for a roof replacement. The sagging indicates that the beams under the roof do not adequately support the roof, which can happen for several reasons. A leak can make the wood weaker, resulting in a roof collapse. Over winter, too much snow on the roof can be too heavy for the wood. A roofer may put too many shingles on the roof instead of tearing off the old layers. The roof must be torn off to fix the structural problem and prevent a collapse.

3. Damaged Asphalt Shingles

Asphalt shingles show several signs they are at the end of their lifespan. Shingles often curl at the ends when they need to be replaced. This is particularly common in older roofs. You may notice granules in your gutters or yard near the downspout. Granule loss is frequently an indicator that the shingles are about to lose their final granules, which protect them. Cracking or breaking shingles are other tell-tale signs.

4. Property Value

Today, more homeowners are replacing their roofs before it's time to increase property value. A roof that matches the rest of your home increases curb appeal and instantly increases property value. If you're searching for ways to improve your home's market value, a new roof is a great way to do it.
