4 INDICATORS THAT YOU MAY NEED TO REPLACE YOUR
ROOF
2

• While you can make some repairs to a roof, over
  time, old, tired and damaged roofs will need to
  be replaced, otherwise they may be putting you
  and your home, in jeopardy.
• A roof replacement is a significant investment,
  no doubt, but one that may be necessary to
  preserve your home and keep everyone under it,
  safe and protected. If your roof has started to
  show any of the following signs, it may be time
  to contact a local roofing contractor, and have
  them assess the damage before replacing your roof

• 1.There are several layers of material on your
  roof
• If your roof has been repaired more than once, or
  youve had it re-roofed, there may be several
  layers of shingles and coverings on it, to keep
  it protected. However, these layers wont work
  forever, and its important to be mindful of the
  fact that they can start to add significant
  weight to the roof and may cause it to eventually
  cave in.

• Actually, re-layering shingles isnt advised by
  professional roofing companies, especially when
  you can have a completely new roof installed that
  will last a lot longer, and be guaranteed to
  properly protect your home. It might cost a
  little more to have a roof replacement, of
  course, but over time, it will be a worthwhile
  investment and could end up costing you less than
  if you were to have multiple roof repairs carried
  out.

• 2.Shingles have blown off, curled, buckled or
  become dislodged
• Any of the above signs are clear indicators that
  your roof needs to be repaired at the very least,
  but if your roof is showing all of the signs,
  then a replacement will likely be inevitable.
  Having your roof professionally stripped down and
  a new roof installed from scratch, will be the
  most effective option, provided you work with a
  reputable contractor.

• 3.There are granules in the gutter
• An old roof or aging shingles will begin to
  deposit their protective coating or sealant in
  the gutters, and if you see granules appearing in
  your guttering system, youll need to consult
  with a roofing contractor at the earliest, to
  prevent further, costly damage.

7

• 4.Water damage is present
• While your roof may look in good condition
  visually from the outside, if you can see signs
  of water damage in your attic or anywhere else in
  your home (or can actually see water leaking in),
  your roof may have sprung a leak. Leaks should
  never be ignored, and even if your roof appears
  to be functioning well, inspections are
  recommended for older roofs in case there is
  damage underneath that may not be visible to the
  untrained eye. Depending on the extent of the
  water damage, a full roof replacement may be the
  more cost-effective option in the long term.

• Nobody wants to have their roof replaced, but
  sometimes its both unavoidable, and the most
  cost-effective option when compared to the price
  of repairs over the course of a few years. To
  find out if your roof needs to be replaced,
  arrange an inspection with a local roofing
  company.
