Recognizing When It's Time for Roof Replacement

The decision on whether to replace a roof has similar dynamics to the decisions we all face on whether to replace a car. Should we keep putting more money into the repair work that seems to be coming with increasing frequency, or have we reached the point where the most cost-efficient approach is to go with a new model? Here are four signs that indicate it might be time for Highland Charter Township residential roof installation: 

1. Age of the Roof

Most roofs have a lifespan of 15 to 25 years, depending on the type of material used. If the roof is approaching or exceeding that timeline, it may be time to consider a replacement. 

2. Moss or Mold Growth

If there is moss or mold growth on the roof, it could indicate that there is moisture trapped underneath the shingles. This moisture can cause significant damage to both a roof and the structure of the home, so it's essential to address the issue promptly. 

3. Interior Damage

If there is water damage or leaks on the interior, it's a good indication that the roof has failed. Water damage can lead to mold growth, structural damage, and other costly repairs. 

4. Cracked or Missing Shingles

Shingles are a vital barrier against the elements, and if they start to show cracks or go missing, the roof's effectiveness is compromised. If there are multiple damaged or missing shingles, it is likely time for a new roof.
