The Common Misconception
Many homeowners believe that they only need to replace their roof when it starts leaking. This is a dangerous myth that can lead to significant damage and costly repairs. At Expert Contracting Roofing & Siding, we’re here to set the record straight and help you protect your home.
Why Waiting for a Leak is a Bad Idea
- Hidden Damage: By the time you notice a leak, water may have already caused extensive damage to your home’s structure.
- Mold Growth: Moisture from undetected leaks can lead to mold growth, which poses health risks.
- Higher Costs: Waiting until your roof fails completely often results in more expensive repairs or replacements.
- Energy Inefficiency: An aging roof can lead to poor insulation and higher energy bills.
Signs It’s Time for a Roof Replacement
Don’t wait for a leak! Here are some indicators that your roof may need attention:
1. Age: Most asphalt shingle roofs last 20-30 years. If yours is approaching this age, it’s time for an inspection.
2. Curling or Missing Shingles: This can lead to water infiltration.
3. Granules in the Gutters: Excessive loss of granules indicates shingle deterioration.
4. Daylight Through Roof Boards: Check your attic for any visible light coming through the roof.
