How Do You Know You Need A New Roof?
Perhaps you are unsure as to whether you actually need a new roof, and are looking for a professional opinion from a roofer. Do you need roof repair or a full roofing replacement? Generally speaking, there are some obvious signs that your home needs a new roof.
Here Are Common Signs That You Need A New Roof
- A Leak in the Attic
After a strong storm or wind-driven rain, take a look in the attic for signs of leaking. It could indicate damaged shingles, inadequate underlayment or deteriorated flashing.
- Blistering or Peeling Interior or Exterior Paint
Moisture trapped in the house due to poor ventilation can cause exterior paint to peel and blister.
- Stains on Interior Ceilings and Walls – Mold or Mildew Growth
Stains, or worse, mold, can be caused by leaks from outside the house or moisture trapped inside.
- Exterior Decay in Sheathing and/or Siding
Excess moisture can also contribute to decay.
- Missing, Cracked, or Curled Shingles
Dry, cracked, or easily broken shingles have reached the end of their useful life, and it’s time to invest in a new roof.
- Dark, Dirty-Looking Areas on your Roof
Vegetation, fungus, mold, or algae growth can cause dark stains on your shingles. That doesn’t necessarily mean you need a new roof, but if you do choose to replace your shingles, ask for StainGuard protection, which is available on many GAF Shingles, including: Timberline Cool Series Shingles, Timberline Natural Shadow Shingles, Timberline ArmorShield II Shingles, and Timberline Ultra HD Shingles.
(StainGuard protection is available only on shingles with StainGuard -labeled packaging. See GAF Shingle & Accessory Ltd. Warranty for complete coverage and restrictions.)
- Excessive Energy Costs
Inadequate ventilation can possibly drive up your household cooling costs by trapping hot air in the attic. Attic moisture can also drip into your insulation, reducing its effectiveness.
