If you notice these signs, then it's time to repair or replace your roof.
The condition of your roof is incredibly important, especially with winter weather right around the corner. Make sure that your roof is in good shape this fall by checking for these signs of deterioration. When you inspect your roof, here's what you should look for.
Indoors
Start your inspection inside your home. You should look for any signs of water damage, such as discoloration, warped wood, and areas where your roof is sagging. Another thing to look out for are any holes or gaps in your roof. If you notice any of these issues, then it's time to get your roof repaired or replaced.
Outdoors
After examining your roof from the inside, you should move your inspection outdoors. The most obvious signs of deterioration are damaged, loose, or missing roof shingles. Additionally, if you notice piles of roof shingle granules accumulating, then this is an indication of wear and old age. Finally, when you're on your roof, check the area around your chimney for any signs of deterioration. If you notice any of these issues, then you will probably need roof repairs.
Repairs vs. Replacement
If you notice any of these signs of damage, don't panic. A little damage doesn't necessarily mean you'll have to replace your entire roof. Get a professional opinion on your roof. A licensed roofing professional will know how to get your roof back into tip-top shape.
