Time to Replace the Roof - Signs to Look For

There are a few important signs that indicate that of a roof replacement. They are as follows:-

Estimated age of the roof:
The normal life of a roof is approximately 15 years depending upon the maintenance of the roof. After this time, there are regular cases of leaks and torn flashings reported in any roof.

Missing or torn shingles:
If the number of missing tiles and shingles in a house are huge, then its best to replace the roof, rather than going in for a repair.

Actual condition of interior walls facing the roof: The condition of the walls touching the roof is a true symbol of a roof replacement. In case there is loss of paint, or moisture marks on the walls indicating the seepage of water, then it’s time for the roof to undergo major repairs.

Extreme weather conditions:
Extreme weather conditions have exposed a part of the house from the top and a situation has come where a minor patch will not help calls for a roof replacement.
