If you are currently experiencing any of the problems with your roof that are in this blog, it might be time for you to call a roofing contractor because you may need a new roof! There isn’t just one sign that tells you if you are having problems with your roof, it can be multiple things and they might be things that you would not even know to look for. Signs can be on the inside of the building or they can even be on the exterior.
Signs that you may notice on the inside of your home or your place of work are water damage, dark spots or trails on the ceiling, and if the ceiling appears to look sagging. If you notice any of these things, it is a good idea to call an inspector to come and look at your roof because you may need some sort of roof repair.
The exterior of the roof can also tell you if it is time to get your roof inspected. If you notice cracked or torn shingles, loose material or wear around the chimney, it is best if you get it checked out as soon as possible.
Another question you probably have asked yourself concerning your roof before is, “how often should I be inspecting my roof?” Well, according to the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA), you should inspect your roof twice a year or more.
If you have had your roof for 20+ years you might want to look into investing on replacing your roof. You should not put off repairs you may need on your roof because with time, your roof may get worse to the point where a repair may not be enough and the whole roof may have to be replaced.
Getting a new roof is not always a bad thing. If you are planning on moving soon and putting your house on the market a new roof will increase your homes value. This new roof both adds more value and will make your home look completely different.
