How Do I Know If I Need a Roof Replacement For My Home?
There are a few visible indicators that determine whether a home needs a new roof or just repairs. If a home has a asphalt shingled roof, there may be noticeable damage to the shingles, like curling, missing granules, or cracks. Age is also a strong sign, if a roof is near 20 years old or older it may be in need of replacing. Roofs covered in other materials such as metal, wood shingles or tile have different life spans, but should all be inspected from time to time to be sure the structure is still in solid condition, especially after severe storms or any damaging events.
