Our OKC roofers have developed a guide of when signs it may be time for a free roof inspection!
1. **Age of the Roof:** The age of your roof is a major factor in determining whether it needs to be replaced. Most roofs are designed to last around 20-25 years. If your roof is approaching this age or older, it’s time to start considering a replacement, even if there are no visible signs of damage.
2. **Missing or Damaged Shingles:** Check for missing, cracked, or curling shingles. Shingles that are in poor condition can leave your roof vulnerable to leaks and water damage. If you notice a significant number of damaged shingles, it’s a clear indicator that your roof may need to be replaced.
3. **Leaks and Water Damage:** Water stains on your ceiling or walls, as well as signs of water in your attic, are clear indicators of a roofing issue. If you notice water damage inside your home, it’s important to have your roof inspected by a professional as soon as possible.
4. **Sagging Roof Deck:** A sagging roof deck is a serious issue and should be addressed immediately. If you notice a droop or sag in your roof, it could indicate structural damage or a weakened foundation. This is a clear sign that your roof needs attention.
5. **Granule Loss in Gutters:** Check your gutters for an accumulation of granules from the shingles. As shingles age, they lose more granules, which can accumulate in the gutters. This is a sign of advanced wear and may indicate that your roof is reaching the end of its lifespan.
If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to have your roof inspected by the professional roofing contractors at Lifestyle Home Improvement OKC, Roofing and Construction. Ignoring these warning signs can lead to more extensive damage and create more costly repairs down the road. A new roof not only provides peace of mind but also adds value to your home. Don’t wait until it’s too late – be proactive in maintaining the integrity of your roof to protect your home and family.
