Your roof is your home's first line of defense against the elements, but it's easy to overlook until a major issue arises. At Tru-Pro Construction, we believe in protecting your investment with proactive care. Knowing when it’s time for a roof replacement can save you from costly repairs down the road. Here are the top signs that it might be time for a new roof — and how Tru-Pro Construction can help.
1. Shingle Damage and Granule Loss If you notice missing, cracked, or curling shingles, it's a clear indicator that your roof is reaching the end of its lifespan. Shingle granules protect your roof from sun damage. When they start to wash away, often seen as bald spots or granules in your gutters, your roof becomes vulnerable to leaks and further damage.
2. Leaks and Water Stains Water stains on your ceilings or walls are often a telltale sign of roof leaks. Even small leaks can lead to significant structural damage if not addressed quickly. Tru-Pro Construction specializes in professional roof repairs and full roof replacements to keep your home safe and dry.
3. Sagging Rooflines A sagging roof is a serious warning sign that there may be underlying structural issues, such as rotting decking or compromised supports. If your roofline looks uneven or dips in certain areas, it’s time to call Tru-Pro Construction for an expert inspection.
4. Aging Roof Most roofing systems are designed to last 20-30 years. If your roof is approaching or has surpassed that age, even if it appears to be holding up, it’s wise to have a professional assessment. Tru-Pro Construction offers comprehensive roof inspections to help you make informed decisions about repair or replacement.
5. Higher Energy Bills An old or damaged roof can affect your home's insulation, causing heating and cooling systems to work harder. If you've noticed a sudden spike in your energy bills, your roof could be the culprit.
6. Mold, Moss, or Algae Growth Moss and algae might look harmless, but they can cause shingles to deteriorate and retain moisture, leading to roof rot. Regular maintenance from Tru-Pro Construction can help you prevent these issues before they become expensive problems.
