🏠 5 Signs You Need a Roof Replacement

1. Your Roof Is Over 20 Years Old

Most shingle roofs last about 20–25 years, depending on the materials and installation. If your roof is nearing that age, it might be time to start planning a roof replacement—even if it looks okay from the ground.

2. Missing, Cracked, or Curling Shingles

Damaged shingles can allow water to seep under the surface, causing leaks, mold, or wood rot. If you’re seeing:

• Shingles that are curling at the edges

• Cracked or missing pieces

• Large patches that look uneven or worn

…it’s a clear sign your roof is no longer doing its job.

3. Leaks or Water Stains Inside the Home

If you see brown spots on your ceilings, wet insulation in the attic, or feel unexplained dampness after rain, it could mean your roof is compromised. Leaks often start small, but they can quickly damage drywall, electrical systems, and insulation.

4. Sagging or Drooping Rooflines

A sagging roof is often caused by trapped moisture, rotting plywood, or structural issues. This is a serious concern and should be checked by a professional immediately.

5. Moss, Algae, or Dark Streaks

If your roof has:

• Green patches (moss or algae)

• Black streaks (often algae growth)

• Patches that look discolored or dirty

…it may be more than just a cosmetic issue. Growths like these can break down roofing materials and signal poor ventilation or moisture issues.
