Ever wondered when is the ideal time to replace the roof on your property? There are these always signs that you are need for a roof replacement in Surrey BC!
Have you ever arrived at your driveway and noticed something that made you question the state of your roof right now? Most likely, the changes happened gradually over time, but you only became aware of them recently. Perhaps you evaluated your roof because your neighbour recently received a new one. It is what it is, whatever it is that made you examine your roof more closely. Everybody has been there.
The majority of the time, a roof can age naturally without failing or suffering significant storm damage. Even though your home receives periodic preventive care, the roof may still appear worn and outdated. Here are the top signs that a roof replacement is overdue!
1. It Is Older Than Twenty Years
If you know your roof will be 20 years old or older soon, it’s a good idea to have it inspected by a licenced professional. It may not be necessary to replace your roof just yet, but having it inspected can help you address minor problems and extend its lifespan. You can also reduce the likelihood that your homeowner’s insurance will be cancelled due to the condition of your roof by taking this action.
2. Your Shingles Are Missing or Deteriorating
Deteriorating shingles are the most obvious indicator that a roof needs to be replaced, next to direct sunshine or dampness in the attic. If your roof is slanted and covered with shingles, the most noticeable damage to your shingles—such as completely missing sections—can be seen from the ground up. You’ll need to get up on your roof in order to see more subtle shingle damage.
Granule loss is another indication that your shingles are nearing the end of their functional life. Shingles lose some of their surface granules as they get older, which reduces their effectiveness. Look for bald spots, or places where the granules are absent, on your shingles to see whether they are shedding. You may also inspect your gutters for the sand-like grains.
3. There is drooping or sagging roof
Sagging and drooping roofs are the most noticeable indication that they need to be replaced. This is a symptom that you can typically see from the ground; in fact, you probably shouldn’t get up on your roof yourself if it looks like it’s sinking. Before more harm is done to your house, a licenced contractor for roof replacement in Surrey BC will inspect the surface of your roof for trapped water and rotting boards and recommend either a repair or roof replacement.
4. It Was Badly Installed or Repaired
Your roof might have been put in hurriedly or improperly; you might not have recognised this at the time of installation or you might not have been the home’s owner. Your home may not sustain damage from a subpar roof installation for years. Even worse, shoddy roof installation is frequently accompanied by a non-existent warranty or guarantee.
