Is your roof trying to tell you something? From age and wear to material type, several signs can signal it’s time for a replacement. Discover what to look for before small issues turn into costly problems.

How To Know When It's Time to Replace Your Roof

Knowing when it’s time to replace your roof isn’t always obvious, especially if there are no alarming signs. But your roof is your home’s first line of defense against weather, so taking care of a full roof repair today means protecting your roof from more expensive problems tomorrow.  

One of the most important factors in determining if your roof needs replacing is its age. Different roofing materials have different lifespans, and each shows unique signs of wear over time.

Shingle Roofs

Shingle roofs typically last 15 to 20 years. Signs that it may be time to replace them include curling, cracking, or missing shingles, as well as granules collecting in gutters, which indicate the shingles are deteriorating.

Metal Roofs

Metal roofs are built to last between 40 and 70 years, but they can still suffer from corrosion, dents, or panel damage. If you notice these issues or general wear and tear, it may be time for a replacement.

Tile Roofs

Tile roofs can last 50 to 100 years, but they’re not immune to aging. Cracked or shifting tiles are common signs that the roof may need attention or replacement, especially if damage is widespread.

Water stains in the attic or in your house are another sign your roof may need to be replaced. These often indicate a small leak that’s been going on for a while. And if you’ve had repairs over the years, it might be more cost-effective to get a full roof replacement or reroof rather than continuing to fix one issue at a time.  

Today’s top roofing companies make it easier than ever to assess your needs with tools like a free roof estimate or an online estimate that can be scheduled in minutes.
