5 Signs You Need a New Roof

Your roof creates up to 40 percent of your home’s curb appeal and boosts resale value. If you’ve noticed any of these signs, it may be time for a makeover.

Shingles aren’t flat: Curling edges or bubbling could signal that leaks are on the horizon.

Sun or rain in the attic: You may not always see holes, so keep an eye out for water spots and for sunlight peeking in.

Missing shingles: Watch for empty patches. You could have them replaced one by one, but you’ll end up with a patchwork color scheme.

Cracked shingles: This often is a sign of aging, and it’s extra concerning if the cracks are all over.

You can’t remember the last time you upgraded: A typical roof lasts 20 to 30 years. If yours is approaching that benchmark, consider contacting a pro for a consultation.
