Superior Roofing

Most homeowners have an understandably difficult time determining if their roof needs repair and maintenance, or a full blown roof replacement. Your roof might look like it’s still holding up, but it may actually be experiencing hidden problems. So what are the warning signs that your roof needs replacement? Superior Roofing Company explains more.

Roof Age

Your standard asphalt roof has an average lifespan of 20 to 25 years. This, however, does not take into account the kind of elemental damage and general wear and tear it experiences throughout its lifetime. Any repair work you do after your roof has gone over its operating lifespan won’t make a difference anymore, and that’s when replacement is the smarter and more cost-effective choice.

Granules in the Gutters

A good way to check if your roofing needs replacing is if you notice a large amount of granules in your home’s gutter system. These sandy granules are actually the protective coating of your asphalt shingles that has been stripped off by elemental damage. This is a warning sign that your shingles aren’t going to do a good job protecting your home when rain starts to fall, which is why you should have them replaced as soon as possible.

Sunlight Peeking through the Ceiling

Finally, have a look at your ceiling or attic space. Do you notice some sunlight peeking through? If so, then you might want to have your roof checked by our professional team. This is a tell-tale sign that your roof has experienced considerable moisture damage, and is actually dangerous to walk on already.
