Signs That Your Roof Needs Repair: What to Look For

Your roof is an important part of your home’s structure, protecting it from the elements. Over time, wear and tear can lead to damage, which may require repairs or even a full replacement. Here are some signs that your roof needs repair:

Missing or damaged shingles

Check for missing or damaged shingles on your roof. If you notice any, this can be a sign of wear and tear or damage caused by wind or other elements.

Leaks or water damage

Look for signs of leaks or water damage on your ceiling or walls. This can indicate that your roof is not effectively keeping out water.

Granules in gutters

If you notice granules from your shingles in your gutters, it may be a sign that your shingles are deteriorating.

Sagging or drooping

A sagging or drooping roof may indicate structural damage and should be addressed immediately.

Excessive wear and tear

If your roof is old or has seen extensive wear and tear, it may be time for a replacement or repairs.

Increased energy bills

If your energy bills have increased significantly, it may be a sign that your roof is not effectively insulating your home.

Exterior damage

Check for signs of damage to your roof from outside, such as cracked or missing flashing, chimney damage, or damage to vents.

By keeping an eye out for these signs, you can catch potential roof problems early and address them before they become more serious issues. Regular maintenance and inspections can help ensure the longevity of your roof and the safety of your home.
