Signs Your Roof Needs A Replacement

3 Signs Your Roof Needs Replacement

Picture this: You pull into your driveway after a long day at work and happen to glance at your roof — but something catches your eye. Upon further inspection, you notice that your once-perfect roof looks as if it has seen better days. While it would be easier said than done to put off a roof replacement, doing so can cause more damage down the line. 

The Danbury roofing professionals at Lecla Home Improvements & Roofing, Inc., want to share the three most common signs that indicate your roof will need replacement from our team:

1. Visibly Cracked or Curled Shingles

One of the first tell-tale signs of requiring a roofing replacement is noticing that your shingles appear worn. If you notice that your shingles are cracked or beginning to curl, you’ll need the help of a trusted Danbury roofing company to save the day. Neglecting damaged or warped shingles can leave room for water damage, as well as pests, to inhabit your home.

2. Light is Peering Inside Your Attic

When was the last time you entered your attic? If you cannot recall, make it a priority to check the storage space for light leakage. If you notice any trace of the sun’s rays pooling into the upper space, whether it’s a lot or a little, that can indicate you have either missing shingles or a damaged roof. And if this is not repaired promptly, you can look forward to water leaks the next time there’s a storm in your area.

3. Your Roof Celebrated a Milestone Birthday

While it can be a joyous occasion to celebrate a milestone birthday for a friend, family member, or yourself, the same cannot be said for your roof. Depending on the type of material used, standard roofing (i.e., asphalt shingles) can last anywhere from 20 to 25 years. If you notice that the shingles are beginning to crack or they appear to be lifting (curling), it’s time to have your roof revitalized.
