Signs That Indicate Your Roof Needs To Be Replaced

Roofs, no matter how strong they are, come with a specific lifespan. You cannot expect your roof to last a lifetime. Thus at some point, you might need to replace the structure to ensure that your home stays protected from outside elements. But the majority of the residents in New Jersey do not know when to opt for residential or commercial roof replacement. To solve this problem we have come up with the signs that give an indication that it is time to change your roof. 

Your roof is sagging. This can be caused by age, but it can also be caused by leaks in the roof that have corroded the structure underneath it. If your roof is sagging and there are no obvious leaks on the surface of the shingles (like stains), then it may be time for a new roof.

Your roof is leaking. This is probably the most common sign that it's time to replace your roof. If you start noticing water coming through your ceiling or forming puddles on your floor, it's time to get it checked out by an expert.

The Shingles are curling/buckling: This is the most common cause of asphalt shingle roof replacement. Pay attention to whether your shingles are curling at the edges or curling up at the bottom corners. This can indicate that there is too much moisture in your attic, which could lead to mold growth or structural damage if not addressed promptly.

Your roof has become brittle and cracked, or it's showing signs of deterioration like peeling paint or rusting metal. These are signs that the material used to construct your roof has become too weak to withstand moisture and temperature variations anymore, so it's probably time for a replacement!

Though these are the common signs to look out for, these might not be visible enough for you to take action. This is why you need to contact a professional to inspect your roof.
