If you recently have been faced with the possibility of needing to replace your roof you likely are stressed about the cost, time, and effort put into a full replacement. While a quick roof repair might seem appealing, it is inevitable that you will need to replace your roof at some point and delaying this process with costly repairs will only cost more money in the long run. If your roof meets any of the following four criteria, the time for a replacement has come!
1. Your Roof Has Reached the End of Its Life Expectancy
If your roof is starting to experience issues, it is important to consider the age of your roof. While cheaper materials like asphalt shingles typically last about 15 years, clay and concrete tiles can last anywhere from 30 to 50 years. If your roof is nearing its end, it’s worth it to just replace your roof!
2. Your Roof Has Been Neglected
The amount of care you or previous owners have put into your roof has a huge impact on how long it will last. If regular maintenance has not been performed and your roof is suffering more serious damage due to neglect, you might be due for a full roof replacement.
3. Your Roof Has Damaged or Missing Shingles
While a missing shingle or two is nothing to be too concerned about if quickly repaired, a more widespread problem calls for a replacement. If left unattended too long, water damage or other serious issues can occur.
4. Your Ceiling or Attic Has Experienced Water Damage
If you notice large stains on your ceiling, leaking, or mold in your attic, your roof might have serious structural issues that warrant a complete replacement. Make sure to address this issue right away to avoid even more water damage to the rest of your home!
