Why you Need a New Roof

Physical Signs You Need a New Roof

A damaged roof often doesn’t just mean a damaged roof. Leaking ceilings and water damaged walls can all be a sign of a decrepit roof. Other signs you may need a new roof:

  • Moss & Algae
    Slowly eating away at shingles or shakes causing your roof to rot, these growths are often seen in damp and humid climates. Although harmless to your health and often seen as aesthetically pleasing, these are a big sign you need your roof looked at!
  • Mildew & Mould
    Mildew and mould are not only detrimental to your roof but also to your health! There are many types of mildew and mould and they spread fast!
  • Sad Looking Shingles
    Shingles looking grim? Your shingles should lay flat so discoloured, curled or cracked edges are a telltale sign your roof needs a replacement.
  • Shabby Looking
    Looks old, worn, saggy or drooping? This type of damage could mean the supports such as beams and studs are in need of some care. This can also be caused by poor installation or materials.

Everyday Signs You Need a New Roof

Sometimes the signs may not be so obvious so look out for other factors that could mean it’s time for a new roof! These circumstances could be:

  • Follow the Crowd
    Your neighbours are getting new roofs! Often most houses near each other were built around the same time, so if your neighbour’s roof is failing, yours might be too.
  • Old
    If your roof is over 20 years old, it may be time to get it looked at. Without the knowledge we have today, yours could be in need of repair.
  • Bill Shock
    A sure sign your roof is crippling is your energy bills! Many people think insulating their doors and windows is enough to keep those bills low, but more often than not your poorly insulated roof is the main cause of those exuberant bills.
