8 Possible Signs That Your Roof Needs to Be Replaced:

1. The edges of the shingles are curled, and the tabs of the shingles are cupped.

2. Bald patches when granules are lacking.

3. Cracked shingles.

4. Your roof is at least 20 years old; although many shingles now are manufactured for longevity, various variables may hasten the aging of shingles. For example, if your roof is not adequately ventilated, it might harm your shingles.

5. The roof seems to be ancient and weathered.

6. Neighbors’ roofs are being replaced. Homes constructed around the same time period may experience the same weather conditions, indicating that your roof is reaching the end of its usable life.

7. Dark streaks Airborne algae causes black lines on roof decks. While this will not necessarily destroy the roof shingles, it will not look nice.

8. Moss may grow on roofs with little sunshine, particularly in chilly, wet areas. Moss growth may be more than just an annoyance. Moss traps moisture on the roof’s surface and, in colder regions, may harm the granules on the shingles’ tops. Brushing off moss will not prevent it from regrowing; don’t harm the shingle surface.
