Most homeowners delay a re-roof too long, spending thousands on repairs that only buy months. Here are the clearest signs it’s time.
- Your roof is 20+ years old (asphalt) — even without visible damage, materials degrade.
- Curling, cracked, or missing shingles across multiple sections.
- Granules collecting in gutters — shingles are shedding their protective coating.
- Daylight visible through the roof deck when standing in the attic.
- Sagging rooflines or soft spots — structural issue, act fast.
- Persistent leaks in multiple locations, not just one flashing point.
- Rising energy bills — often a sign of failed underlayment or insulation.
