dreamstime_xxl_58770517 (1)

Taking inventory of your roof’s condition is always a good habit to get into. Not only are you aware of any issues, but regularly checking it helps you evaluate the condition for any future repairs or roof replacements — it may look like it’s in good condition, but with a closer look, it may be in need of major repairs.

If you’re unsure about the condition of your roof, S & S Roofing, Inc. can always lend a hand.

There are warning signs that make it obvious that a roof needs replacement, and you should contact roofers like us for an expert opinion. Read on to learn more about the warning signs that it’s time to replace your roof!

Curled or Deformed Shingles

Have you seen a house where the roof shingles are warped? It is dangerous as it leaves the underlying wood heavily exposed to the elements. 

Shingles are the protective barrier for your roof and if they are in poor condition, the structure of your property is exposed and susceptible to what’s outside. Therefore, the structure of your home is at risk too, and your roof should be repaired or replaced immediately. 

Missing Shingles

When looking at a roof from afar, property owners should first look for a clean, uniform appearance with no missing shingles. If there are any patches or missing shingles, this would drastically reduce the effectiveness of the roof.

Combined with adverse weather, this can peel the shingles off the roof, leaving the house vulnerable underneath.

An Aging Roof

In most modern business parks, buildings are built around the same time, resulting in aging at similar rates. When considering roof replacement, simply look around you. If the roofs in your area are in poor condition, it is probably also time to replace your roof too, or at least have it maintained by roofing experts.

Internal or External Wet Spots

The purpose of a roof is to eliminate the possibility of exterior moisture from damaging the underlying structure. If moisture is already starting to seep through your roof, it’s time to make a repair if the damage is minor. 

If moisture is already starting to penetrate the interior of your home, it is best to contact a roofing expert to fix the problem immediately and avoid health problems and major damage to the structure of your home.
