Did you know that a new roof cost for a 3,000 sq. ft house can range from $6,500 to $20,000? While that’s a significant investment, the cost could be higher if you wait until issues on your roof turn into damage inside your house. Many homeowners wait until it is too late to get a roof replacement.

Are you concerned about the current condition of your roof? Don’t wait until you start to see issues around your home or office. Check out these top six signs you need a new roof with our roof assessment guide.

1. Damaged Shingles

One of the top signs that you need roof repair is damaged shingles. If you were wondering when to replace roof shingles, if they are cracked or falling off that is a key indication. However, if your whole roof is patchy or losing lots of granules it could be time to replace it.

2. A Sagging Roofline

Does your roof look droopy? That’s a sure sign that the roof has rotted and needs to be replaced. Whether it was due to moisture or otherwise, get professionals out there to redo it, stat.

3. Have a Roof Assessment for Moss

While green roofs are all the rage now if you have an unintentional one thanks to moss overgrowth it is time to take care of it. Moss can trap moisture which can lead to roof damage, so it’s important to have an assessment done. You may need to brush it off, but if there is moisture damage you may need to replace the roof.

4. Age

Despite your best efforts with maintenance there comes a time when every roof reaches the end of its life. Age is one of the top reasons to replace a roof. Different kinds of roofing materials have a different lifespan so check to see how old yours is first before making any decisions.

5. Leaks

Perhaps the most obvious sign that your roof has issues is the presence of leaks. A damaged roof can let in moisture to your home which takes the form of leaks. Don’t ignore them–if you hear dripping sounds, notice water collecting, or see mold growing indoors get professional help.

6. Punctured Roof

If you have a single-ply membrane roof, you may run into puncture issues. If the roof membrane got damaged in a storm due to flying debris, you should have it repaired. You can see here how another protective layer can be added to the roof to increase its durability and resistance to future punctures.

Ready To Replace Your Roof?

Now that you’ve learned about the top signs that your roof is in trouble, you can be proactive and get a roof assessment. If you notice cracked shingles or excessive moss on your roof, it’s time to call a professional. And if you’ve been living with leaks, get help before it causes further damage to your home.
