When do I replace my roof?

---

 You may need to replace your roof if it’s over 15–20 years old, has frequent leaks, missing or damaged shingles, or shows signs of sagging. Ignoring these signs can lead to more serious and costly damage over time. 

 Keeping a damaged roof can lead to serious risks, including water leaks that cause mold, rot, and structural damage inside your home. It can also increase energy bills, reduce property value, and compromise the safety of your living space. 

 In some cases, roof repairs can be a temporary solution—but not always the best one. If your shingles are discontinued, too old to match, or too brittle to work with, repairs may not be possible or effective, and a full replacement might be the safer, longer-lasting option. 

 Upgrading to a new roof improves your home’s protection, energy efficiency, and curb appeal. It also reduces the risk of leaks and costly repairs, increases property value, and often comes with a long-term warranty for added peace of mind. 

 The right type of roof depends on your home’s structure, local climate, budget, and aesthetic preferences. A roofing professional can help you compare materials like asphalt shingles, metal, or tile to choose the best fit for durability, energy efficiency, and style. 

 Yes, replacing your roof can significantly increase your home's value by improving curb appeal, enhancing energy efficiency, and giving buyers confidence that the home is well-maintained. It’s one of the top home improvements with a strong return on investment. 

 To extend the life of your new roof, schedule regular inspections, keep gutters clean, remove debris, and address minor issues like missing shingles or sealant cracks promptly. Preventative maintenance helps avoid costly repairs and keeps your roof performing at its best for years to come.
