5 Signs It’s Time for a New Roof
Knowing when to replace your roof might seem like a tough call, but Oconee Athens Roofing has a few helpful tips to help you know when the time is right. When you know what to look for, you’ll save money in the long run– and that’s a win-win! Here are five signs it might be time.
Sagging
This is a sign that you need to take immediate action and have one of our experienced crew members come out for a same-day estimate. This can be a sign that there is decay, structural damage, or even rot could be hiding underneath the shingles or roofing structure. Another thing to be on the lookout for is rotting wood at the base of the roof.
2. It’s Been a While
Time itself can be the best indicator of the need for a new roof. Have you checked your roof’s warranty lately? Better yet, do you even know when the last time the roof on your house was replaced? Unsure? Do some research or let us come take a look!
3. Light Peeking in Attic
Sometimes the answer is inside not on the exterior. Have you been into your attic lately? If not, take a trip up the dreaded stairs when it’s dark. See light shining through? This could be a sign of damage. Shine some light around and look for water spots or water damage.
4. Self Inspection Has You Worried
If you’ve taken a look up on the roof and noticed that your shingles are cracked or might be warping, it might be good to get an expert opinion before you spend more money in the long run. If the shingles don’t lay flat or appear to buckle, you might be in need of repair or replacement.
5. Moss Growth
While it might look appeasing from the road, moss on the roof of a home is a sign that moisture could be collecting underneath the structure. Moisture can lead to major damage and extreme costs that no homeowner wants to incur. Let’s take care of it today.
