How to Know When It’s Time to Replace Your Roof

Do you suspect that your roof may require replacement? This is a common concern among homeowners, but many people find it difficult to determine when the time for roof replacement has arrived.

As a premier New Jersey roofing company, East Coast Roofing, Siding, & Windows is here to help. If you are worried that your roof is reaching the end of its lifespan, there are a variety of signs you can look out for that will help you decide whether you should invest in a new roofing system for your home. These include:

1.) Damaged or Missing Shingles

Shingle damage is one of the top indicators that roof replacement is in your future. If you have noticed many dented, cracked, or curled shingles, you might need a new roof. If you have discovered shingles on the ground near your home, this is another sign that you may require roof replacement. Sometimes, damaged or missing shingles can be fixed with a roof repair job, but at other times, these issues indicate the need for replacement. Whether you require repairs or replacement, the key is to address these issues promptly. Our expert roof replacement team is always available to discuss your concerns. If you do need a new roofing system, we can help you select the right GAF shingles from our array of roofing options to ensure that you receive durable, long-lasting products for your new roof.

2.) Bald Spots

Granules help keep your roof in tip-top condition. They provide fire-resistance, along with aesthetic appeal to your home. If you notice bald spots on your shingles, you have granule loss. Depending on the extent of the issue, you may need to invest in a new roof.

3.) Water Damage or Leaks

Water damage or leaks are another sign that you might require a new roof. These issues can sometimes be repaired but also may indicate that your roofing materials are no longer performing well.

4.) Moss Growth

Do you have moss or algae growth on your roof? If so, call in the experts. This may be a sign that you need to get a new roof, particularly if your current roof is 10 years or older.

5.) Age and Appearance of Your Roof

The age and overall appearance of your roof are other things to consider when it comes to roof replacement. Is your roof 20 years or older? Are many of your neighbors getting new roofing systems? Does your roof look like it has suffered a lot of wear and tear? It may be time to invest in roof replacement.
