Roof damage triggers many long-term complications with your home, including structural issues and leaks. When the damage isn't worth repairing, roof replacements are the answer. But how exactly can you tell that it's time to invest in a roof replacement for your property? Let's dive into some key signs that you should replace your roof.

You See Leaks or Water Damage in Your Home

Your roof's main job is to protect your home or business from the weather outside. When you start seeing that weather get inside, it's time for a new roof. Check the ceilings and walls of your home, particularly on the top floor or attic if you have one. Any leaks or water damage will be most prominent there. It's important to get your roof replaced sooner rather than later if you spot leaks or water damage because they can cause serious structural issues for your property over time.

Your Roof Is About 20 Years Old

In the experience of our roofers, an average roof lasts about 15 to 20 years. Once it starts approaching that two-decade mark, parts of the roof will show wear and tear. You may even be missing shingles or have serious damage to your roof that you weren't aware of. If you're unsure whether the age of your roof is affecting its functionality, schedule a professional roof inspection with a roofing contractor. They'll be able to tell you if you need to look into roof replacements.

The Roof Doesn't Match the Property's Style

According to Roofing Insights, roof replacement takes up over 90% of the whole roofing market. This large sector means that there is a wide variety of roofing styles at your fingertips. If your roof is looking outdated and no longer matches the rest of your home or business, invest in a new one. Your roof affects the appearance of your property more than you may think, and getting a new roof can make a major difference in its curb appeal.
