There are many signs that will indicate it’s probably time to replace your existing roof.
- Overall sagging
- Missing shingles
- Massive granule loss
- Curling or buckling shingles
- A roof age of more than 30 years
When cleaning your gutters out in the early spring or late fall, you’ll want to keep an eye out for shingle granules. These granules look like little rocks and make up the exterior surface of your asphalt shingles.
Their main job is to protect the shingle’s lower asphalt and fiberglass layers from damage. When you notice a large number of granules in your gutter, it’s a key indicator that your roof is in need of replacement.
When those nasty summertime storms push through, high wind gusts can wreak havoc on your roof. In some cases, the wind may rip off a large number of your shingles.
It typically makes the most sense to replace all your roofing shingles simultaneously. This way, your new roof wears at the same rate. Replacing only the missing shingles can cause uneven roof wear in the future.
The average asphalt shingle roof will last anywhere between 20 and 30 years. If your roof is nearing the latter end of this estimate, it’s time to consider scheduling a replacement service.
You never want to wait until your roof develops a massive issue before replacing it. You’ll get hit with a hefty bill, and the repair service is likely to take place at a time that’s inconvenient for you.
As your asphalt shingles age, they will start to become more brittle. Eventually, the bottom quarter of the shingle will even start to curl upward, also known as buckling.
This will leave the roof underlayment open to water penetration, which isn’t good. If you notice that your shingles are curling or buckling, it’s a common indicator that it’s time to schedule a replacement service.
