Roof Replacement Throughout Delaware
When Should I Get My Roof Replaced?
Shingle roofs typically last between 15 to 20 years, and commercial flat roofs usually need to be replaced every 10 to 20 years. However, determining when your roof needs to be replaced can be difficult if you don't know exactly when the last time your roof was replaced unless you have your roof inspected every month. Keep an eye out for any of the following issues, and our team can provide you with a free, honest assessment:
- Loose or Missing Shingles – Your roof operates as a single impenetrable barrier. If one shingle is missing, the rest of the system is vulnerable.
- Granules in Your Gutters – Granules are designed to protect the asphalt shingles from UV rays. However, over time, the granules can begin to fall off and end up in your gutter downspout.
- Wet Spots on the Ceiling – A leaky roof can lead to a discolored ceiling. If you notice any damp or discolored areas on the ceiling directly below your roof, it should be inspected by a professional.
- Moss or Algae Growth – Moss or algae growing on your roof may seem harmless or even quaint for some homeowners. However, moss and algae can lift the roof shingles, allowing water and debris to enter your home.
- Damaged Flashing – Flashing is designed to waterproof adjoining walls and chimneys. However, if it's broken or damaged, the water may enter your home instead.
