Roof Replacements

If you notice dark spots on your ceiling or walls, a simple roof inspection can help determine if a roof replacement is necessary.

The average lifespan of a roof is between 20 and 50 years. Depending on what material your roof is made of, it could last more or less time. The weather (storm, rain, etc) could also shorten the lifespan of your roof.

Another sign of moisture retention in your roof is observing fungus (mushroom), moss, or mold growth on your roof or ceiling. Roofs are not meant to retain any moisture. Moisture in this area provides a favorable environment for these potentially hazardous growths to penetrate into your home and affect your health.

If you have to run your AC or heat more than you normally would to keep your home at a comfortable temperature. Or if your utility bills are much higher than the average home of the same size. This could be a sign of roof damage that might need to be repaired or replaced.

Repair or replacement of damaged or missing shingles and tiles depends on the type and extent of the damaged area. Only an inspection can determine what your roof needs.

If you observe any damaged areas, or parts that are falling. It’s time for an inspection to determine if there is damage inside the roof that cannot be easily seen. Flashing is a vital area as most leaks occur in these areas.

Roof surfaces should look flat. Any signs of sagging can be detected by viewing your roof from a distance at different angles. The sagging spots can also show some color variation compared to the rest of the roof. This is a sign that moisture has penetrated, and could lead to more serious damage to your home if your roof is not inspected, repaired, or replaced.
