No matter what you do to avoid it, the end of your roof's lifespan will eventually arrive. If your roof is getting on in its years, it may be reaching the point where you need to have it replaced. The good news is that it's generally pretty easy to find a local roofer who can help you get a new roof. That said, you may not recognize when the time comes that you need to have your roof redone. Let's take a look at some tell-tale signs that a professional will need to replace your roof.

1. Storm Damage

According to Business Insider, each year, over 5 million roofs are installed on homes in the United States. Many of these roofs are installed on new homes or replace worn-out roofs on older homes. However, sometimes a roof has to be replaced after it has suffered extensive damage during a storm or other event (such as a falling tree). In these cases, you'll often be working with insurance appraisers and other relevant parties, so they can provide advice about whether your roof needs to be replaced. We are ready to help you when it's time for a new roof.

2. Peeled Shingles

If you have an asphalt shingle roof, you may one day notice that some of the shingles are peeling upward. This is often a sign that the roof is getting on in its years. If only a few shingles peel up here and there from time to time, it may not be a big deal, and our professionals can simply replace the individual shingles. However, if lots of shingles are peeling, expert replacement may be in order.

3. Mold

It's usually pretty hard for mold to gain a toehold on a roof. However, as roofs start to break down, they become more vulnerable. In some cases, you may be able to simply clean off the mold, but it also might be time to get a new roof. Fortunately, a local roofer can help you with this decision.

Many other things could indicate that you require a new roof. For example, if you're suffering from a lot of leaks or some of the shingles are breaking down, it may be time to bring in a local roofer to redo everything.
