TUSCOLA, IL (Chambana Today) – Your roof is your home’s first line of defense against the elements. Whether it’s brutal summer heat, heavy storms, or winter snowfall, your roof quietly protects your home every single day. But like anything, it doesn’t last forever.
So how do you know when it’s time to replace your roof? Here are the five major signs:
-
Your Roof is Over 20 Years Old
Most asphalt shingle roofs last between 20–25 years. If your roof is hitting that age, it’s time for a professional inspection. Even if it looks okay from the ground, weather exposure can cause hidden wear that weakens the roof’s protective layer.
-
Missing or Damaged Shingles
If you’re seeing curled, cracked, or missing shingles, it’s more than just a cosmetic issue. These gaps leave your home vulnerable to water damage, mold, and insulation problems. Regular maintenance helps, but widespread damage typically means it’s time for a new roof.
-
You Notice Water Stains or Leaks Indoors
If you spot water stains on your ceiling or walls—or worse, active leaks—don’t ignore them. These are signs that your roof’s waterproof barrier has been compromised. The longer you wait, the more extensive (and expensive) the damage becomes.
-
Your Energy Bills Are Climbing
Poor roof insulation or ventilation can cause your HVAC system to work overtime. If you’ve noticed your heating or cooling bills creeping up, your roof may be to blame. A new, energy-efficient roofing system can help regulate your home’s temperature and save money in the long run.
-
Sagging or Uneven Rooflines
A sagging roof often indicates structural damage beneath the shingles—possibly from trapped moisture, rot, or weakened support beams. This is a serious issue that requires immediate attention to avoid further damage or even collapse.
