What are the Signs that it’s Time for Residential Roof Repair?

If you're a homeowner, issues with the roof of your house are something you'd like to avoid. But wear and tear are inevitable over time, and you'll eventually need to repair or replace your roof. Here are some signs that it's time for residential roof repair:

Age: Your roof may last anywhere from 20 to 30 years depending on the material it's made of. If your roof has been around for that long or longer, it's time to replace it.

Water leaks: If you notice water stains on your ceilings or walls, it could be due to issues with your roof. Check your attic for any signs of water leakage, like water stains or damp insulation.

Missing or damaged shingles: Check your roof regularly for any damaged or missing shingles, which could lead to water leakage and further damage to your roof.

Sagging: A sagging roof is a clear sign that something is wrong. It could be due to issues with the structure of your roof or damage to the decking and requires immediate attention.

Damaged flashing: Flashing is the material that seals the gaps between your roof and chimneys, vents, or skylights. If it's damaged, water could easily penetrate into your house, causing further damage.

Remember, regular inspections and maintenance can catch small roofing problems before they become big ones. So, it's always better to be proactive and schedule inspections regularly by a professional roofer.
