5 Signs That it is Time for a Roof Replacement
You can expect an asphalt shingle roof to last somewhere between 15 to 30 years. That time may change based on how often you have your roof inspected, how careful you are about repairs, and whether your home has experienced any severe weather events. When you’re trying to decide whether or not to replace your roof, you should look for any of the following five signs:
1. Age
The most common type of roof material, asphalt shingles, typically last 15-30 years. If your roof is approaching the end of its expected lifespan, consider a replacement before leaks or structural problems arise.
2. Visible Damage
Cracked or missing shingles, curling or blistering of asphalt, rusted metal panels, and cracked tiles are all visible signs of roof damage. Extensive moss, algae, or mold growth can also indicate roof issues.
3. Leaks
Leaks are probably the clearest indicator that your roof is in need of repair or replacement. Ignoring leaks can lead to extensive water damage within your home.
4. Sagging Roofline
Structural problems are often indicated by a sagging roofline. This is a very serious issue that requires immediate attention and a full roof replacement.
5. Increased Energy Bills
If you’re noticing your energy bills are becoming more expensive it may mean you’re working harder to heat or cool your home. An aged or damaged roof can lead to higher heating and cooling costs.
Regardless of your roof’s health, it’s worth consulting a roofing professional if your roof is over 20 years old. An experienced technician will be able to spot problems you may have overlooked.
How Long Does a Roof Replacement Take?
There are several factors that can affect the time it takes to completely replace a roof, however, most average-sized homes take between 1-3 days. Some factors that can influence the maintenance time include:
1. Roof Size
The process of tearing up an existing roof usually takes 4-6 hours on most homes, but can take a full day for larger or more complex roofs. Generally, the larger the home, and the more complex the roof, the longer the replacement will take.
2. Roofing Material
Standard asphalt shingles are the most popular and quickest to install. Premium materials including metal roofing, tile roofing, and wood shakes can extend your installation timeline up to 3-5 days.
3. Weather Conditions
Many people ask whether roof replacements and installs can happen in rainy conditions. Generally, roofing professionals strongly advise against installing or repairing a roof in inclement weather. Although waiting can delay the project timeline, it is done to keep the roofers safe, protect the materials from damage, and to avoid compromising the quality of the installation. Trust us, your new roof will be worth the wait!
Our Proven Process
How does roof replacement work?
After our initial call, we’ll send one of our professional roofing advisors to your home to take a look at your roof and discuss your roof replacement options. They’ll be able to answer any questions you might have about the process, including materials, timeline, and budget. Your roofing advisor will then put together a formal estimate, which should include a timeline and a projected cost. Once you and your roofing advisor agree on the estimate, we’ll get started on your roof replacement. We’ll make sure your old roof is properly disposed of and get your new roof installed quickly, so you won’t have to put up with disruptions to your daily life any longer than necessary.
What are common signs I need a full roof replacement?
You should look for broken, cracked, or missing shingles and/or flashing, signs of water damage, dark patches or streaks, and moss or algae growth. It’s also worth checking to see if your roof is simply worn-out with age or missing protective granules on your shingles. Many of these issues can easily be seen by standing outside your home and looking at your roof.
Why should I consider regular inspections and maintenance?
We highly encourage a regular maintenance schedule, such as our annual 17-point inspection. Our roofing technicians will make sure your roof stays clear of debris and repair any minor damage caused by wind, rain, or hail. Roofing maintenance and inspections aren’t just important for extending the life of your new roof—they’re also an important part of protecting your investment. Most warranties require you to have proof that you’ve had regular maintenance and inspections performed on your roof. We’ll make sure you have the documentation necessary to keep your investment safe.
