Roof Replacement: Is It Actually Time for One?

Have you checked your roof system lately? If it has problems that no amount of repair or maintenance can fix, you might want to start considering a complete replacement. Here are some of the warning signs you should be watching out for on your system:

Obvious Indications of Aging

Roof systems have different life expectancies depending on the material. Asphalt shingles, for example, can last up to 20 years with proper installation and maintenance. If your asphalt shingle roof has just reached its fifteenth year (or is already way past it), then it might be time to have it replaced. A roof system that’s already getting old will usually have:

• Cracked, curling or buckling asphalt shingles.
• Worn or “bald” shingles caused by excess granule loss.
• Torn or loose flashing
• Missing asphalt shingles
• Roof materials that are covered by moss or algae

Recurring Roof Leaks

A relatively healthy roof will spring a leak or two, but a roof that needs a replacement springs multiple, recurring ones. Perhaps, the shingles are already old and cracked, or maybe the underlayment and flashing has already been compromised. Whatever the reason, recurring roof leaks can leave your home vulnerable to water damage. To prevent costly and extensive repair and restoration work, make sure to turn to a trusted roofing contractor like AQ Roofing LLC for a prompt and complete roof replacement.

Sagging Roofline

It pays to be proactive than reactive when it comes to roof replacement. Putting off the project until the last minute can lead to a sagging roof, which puts your home’s integrity and your own personal safety at risk. At this point, the roof structure has already sustained severe moisture damage, and a complete roof failure has become more than a possibility. Before anything serious happens, call AQ Roofing LLC for a replacement as soon as possible.
