Your home is a work in progress. The house is something that you live in and use on a regular basis and over time it needs to be ungraded and updated. There are lots of areas of the house that can be worn out and at some point need to be replaced. The appliances, windows, bathrooms and the roof are a few that you need to keep an eye on as a homeowner. When it comes to the roof there are signs that you can look for. The signs will tell you that the roof is in need of replacement. The roof is the first line of defense when it comes to the weather. The weather can do some major damage to your home and if the roof is in bad shape you will start to notice the damage. Understanding the signs that your roof needs to be replaced is a great way to start. Then using a professional company to do the replacement is important. Anytime Remodeling & Design outlines signs you need to replace your roof.
Visible Wind, Storm & Damage to Roof
One of the things you can look for are obvious signs that there is damage to the roof tiles, shingles or eaves. The roof can be made from many different materials depending on the area that you live. The material that is used is often similar to your neighbors and can be found in different color combinations. Although it is not easy to see the top of your roof you can often see areas of the roof. You may see them out of the window of a second story. You can see them from the street as well and if you notice that these areas have any extensive visible damage you want to look at replacing the roof. Depending on the amount of shingles and tiles that are damaged will determine if you need a roof repair or a rood replacement. If you are not able to see the roof in its entirety it is a good idea to have a roof inspection.
Ceiling Leak from Rain on Roof
Many people enjoy a stormy night with the rain dripping down the windows. The storm can be a welcome event but if you have a roof that has been damaged it can lead to a leak. During the rain the water can get under the area of the roof that has been damaged and that would then cause a reaction in the house. The leak can be noticed on the ceiling in the house by the staining that often occurs. The staining will often get larger after there is some level of moisture. If you start to notice that there are stains on your ceiling you want to have your roof checked for damage. It may require the roof to be replaced.
Age of Roof
The roofing materials that are used are not intended to last a life time. That means that over some time the roofing materials can start to wear out. The materials when worn out will start to cause the roof to fail and this is when you need to have it replaced. You will want to hire a company to come out and inspect the age of the roof and make the replacement.
