Your roof is one of the most important parts of your home’s protection. But like everything else, it has a lifespan — and replacing it at the right time can prevent costly damage inside your home. Here are the most common signs we see that tell homeowners it’s time for a new roof.
1. Shingles Are Missing, Cracked, or Curling
Over time, shingles can loosen, break, or curl up at the edges. If you’re seeing these signs across large areas of your roof, it’s often a clue that the material is nearing the end of its life.
2. Frequent Leaks or Water Stains
If you’ve had to repair multiple leaks or you notice new water stains on your ceiling after rain, your roof’s protective barrier may be failing. A full replacement is often more cost-effective than repeated repairs.
3. Granules in the Gutters
As asphalt shingles age, they shed granules — those small, sand-like pieces you might see in your gutters or at the base of your downspouts. This means your shingles are wearing thin and losing their ability to protect your home.
4. Visible Sagging
A sagging roof can indicate structural issues with the decking or supports underneath. This is a serious issue that should be addressed immediately by a professional.
5. Your Roof is Over 20 Years Old
Most asphalt shingle roofs last 20–25 years. If yours is reaching that age — even if it looks okay from the ground — it’s wise to have it inspected.
