Your roof is like the unsung hero of your house, protecting you from all the craziness Mother Nature throws your way. But like everything else, it won’t stay young forever. Here are seven telltale signs that your roof might be due for a makeover or a roof replacement!

Age of the Roof

Okay, let’s start with the basics – how old is your roof? If it’s been around for a while, it’s seen some stuff! While a well-maintained roof might push the limits, it’s time to think about a roof replacement if it’s getting up there in years.

Shingles in a Funk

Check out those shingles! Are they curling, buckling, cracking, or even doing a disappearing act? Not cool, right? Damaged shingles mean trouble, my friend. They won’t do a good job protecting your home from leaks and other nasty surprises.

Roof Leaks Making an Entrance

You know you’ve got a problem when water stains show up on your ceilings and walls. And don’t even get me started on puddles in your attic! Roof leaks are like uninvited guests, and they’ll ruin your home if you don’t show them the door.

A Saggy Situation

If your roof is sagging, you’ve got a serious problem. That sag is shouting for help, and it’s a safety hazard you can’t ignore. Get some professional help ASAP!

Wallet Draining Faster Than Usual

Has your energy bill gone haywire? A failing roof can mess with your home’s insulation, making your AC and heating work overtime. Say hello to higher energy bills if you don’t address the issue!

Nature Taking Over

Moss and algae might seem like your roof’s new pals, but they’re bad news! They trap moisture, and that’s like a spa treatment for roof decay. Get rid of those unwanted guests!

Storm Damage

Ohio has unpredictable weather, and your roof could have damage you might not notice. Storm damage leads to more expensive issues like leaks, structural rot and mold (yuck!) Lucky for you, we are experts who assess damage and work with your insurance to get your roof replacement covered.

Keep an eye out for these signs – age catching up, shingles misbehaving, leaks invading, saggy situations, energy bills playing tricks, and nature getting too cozy. If you spot any of these, it’s time to consider bidding farewell to your old roof and welcoming a fresh, new one. Your home will thank you for it, and you can enjoy peace of mind while staying safe and dry under that brand-new rooftop!
