Common Indicators of Roof Wear and Damage

Shingles That Are Missing or Damaged: Gaps in your roof can allow water to seep in.
Shingles that Are Curled or Cracked: Often a sign of aging materials.
Granules in the gutters: Asphalt shingles losing granules signal wear.
Water Stains or Leaks: Visible spots on ceilings or walls indicate roof leaks.
Roof Sagging: Structural issues may be compromising your roof.
Visible Light in the Attic: If light is visible through your attic, it’s a sign of roof damage.
Moss or algae growth: Excess moisture can degrade materials over time.
Increased Energy Bills: Poor insulation from roof damage affects efficiency.
Roof’s Age: Roofs typically last 20–25 years; if yours is older, it could be time to replace it.
