Is My Roof Ready for Replacement Even Though It’s Not Old Enough?

Anyone who has ever owned a home knows the importance of replacing the roof when it’s time. Depending on the age of the home, the quality of the products used, and where you live, you might be able to go many years without replacing your roof. In other instances, you might need a new roof long before the lifespan of the roof is up. If you’re not sure whether a new roof is in your near future, you should learn the signs that indicate your roof has reached the point of no return even if it’s not old enough to replace.

Curling and Buckling of the Shingles

If you notice your shingles appear to curl or buckle, you might have a small problem. This occurs when your shingles are just too old. Unfortunately for homeowners, this might happen even if the shingles aren’t technically old enough to do this. It can occur if the shingles face the sun too directly, if they simply didn’t hold up well, or if they were not correctly installed.

Valleys

Does your roof have any valleys in which the shingles appear to have issues, such as missing shingles? If it does, it could indicate your roof needs replacement. This is where snow and rain go to fall off the roof, and it could be causing damage to the interior of your home.

Shingle Granules

Does your gutter appear to be full of shingle granules? If it does, it means you might need to replace your roof. This tends to occur when roofs are getting older, and shingles begin to lose these granules as they reach the end of their life cycle. It’s rarely good news, but it is an indication you must pay attention to when you are dealing with the life of your roof.

Leaks and Other Issues

If you notice the ceiling or other leaks in your home, there is a chance you might need to replace a portion of your roof if you don’t need to replace it all together. This is not a good sign, and it’s time to get a professional out to check on it. Roofs are important, and good ones are more important.

Your home requires your best. If you suspect your roof is not living up to its full potential, it’s time to ask for some help. A new roof can save families thousands of dollars in repairs and other issues. Your roof needs repair over time, and sometimes it needs it a little sooner than you imagined.

In 2004 Foam Experts installed a new foam roof on our 2 story townhouse. The whole process was easy and informative. They came out periodically, for free, to check the roof’s condition and do any necessary minor repairs. In 2014 and again in May 2022 we had them recoat the surface after a complete inspection. We have never had any leaks or issues with our roof. We love working with Todd and Marianne and really appreciate their excellent customer service and top notch quality of work.

It was a pleasure working with this company, from first contact for inspection and a quote, to our finished foam roof project. Their crew and crew leader were courteous, professional and friendly, and cleaned up so thoroughly each day, it was as if they had not even been there. Of course, no homeowner really knows how well the job was done until the next rainfall. The ultimate test was passed with an A+ when, a couple of weeks later, rain came down hard in torrents on two different days. I highly recommend Foam Experts Roofing, Inc.
