A strong, well-maintained roof is essential to protecting your home. However, every roof has a lifespan, and knowing when it’s time for replacement can save you from costly repairs.
Persistent Leaks
If leaks reappear even after multiple repairs, it may be time for a full roof replacement rather than patchwork fixes.
Missing or Damaged Shingles
Shingles that are cracked, curled, or missing expose your home to water infiltration. Large areas of damage usually require replacement.
Sagging Roof Deck
Sagging is a sign of serious structural problems. This is one of the clearest indicators that a full replacement is necessary.
Age of the Roof
Most asphalt shingle roofs last 20–25 years. If your roof is older, a replacement is the safest long-term solution.
