6 Signs You Need a Roof

One of the problems homeowners worry about the most is replacing their roof or repairing their roof. The signs that tell us when professional roofing services are required are not always easy to know. The signs that you need to get a new roof replacement or roof repair are listed here in this blog by Regina's best roofing company, United Roofing and Exteriors.

For more than 30 years, we have provided roofing services that are reliable and respected around the Regina area. Custom roofing projects, complex roofing jobs, and repairs are what we specialize in.

Here are the signs that you need a new roof:

#1. Roof Age

If your roof is over 40 years old, it is smart to think about a replacement. Either contact the previous owner of the home or determine the age of the home if you are not positive about the age of the roof. If many other homeowners in your neighborhood are doing roof replacements, you should think about doing the same.

#2. Sunlight or Leaks in Attic

Look in your attic to see if you notice any light beaming in. You should also lookout for any discoloration, stains, or streaks that may be on the floor. In areas where sunlight comes in, there may be holes. Furthermore, spots where water is coming through may signal a leak. If there are multiple spots where sunlight is coming in, you should call a professional.

#3. Bad Shingles

After heavy storms, do you notice shingles in your yard? That is not supposed to occur. Shingles are meant to lie flat on the roof. If you see buckling, cracked patches, or divots, you more than likely need a roof replacement.

#4. Fresh Flashing

Flashing surrounding chimneys, skylights, and vents is extremely crucial to your roof. Huge problems with roofing may occur if these seals and seams crack over a period of time. This may not always be noticeable. If you believe this is an issue, immediately call a professional.

#5. Sagging Roof

A sagging roof is a sign of damage and is not structurally safe anymore and needs to be replaced. Carefully look at your roof’s lowest part to see if you notice any sagging. Pools of water come in causing damage or rotting in these sagging areas often.

#6. Shingles With Moss Growth

A cause for major concern happens when moss or mold is growing on your shingles. There are several reasons this growth is occurring. Algae and fungus are both extremely dangerous and a roof replacement is needed right away if this bacteria is growing.
