How Often Should You Replace a Roof?

When Should a Roof Be Replaced?

Roof life varies by material, installation quality, weather exposure, ventilation, and maintenance. Age alone is not the only factor; visible damage and recurring leaks also matter.

Warning Signs

  • Missing, cracked, or curling shingles
  • Leaks or water stains
  • Sagging roof sections
  • Granules collecting in gutters
  • Damaged flashing around openings

Next Step

Arrange a roof inspection before deciding between repairs and full replacement. Early action may prevent interior water damage.
