It’s essential to be aware of the condition of your roof since it protects your home and family from the elements. Over time, exposure to the weather can lead to damage, leaks, and other issues. If you see these signs that your roof needs repair, contact the professionals at Barrington Roofing to schedule an inspection. Here are a few things to watch for.
Age of the Roof
It is highly recommended to have a professional inspection of your roof if it is nearing the expected lifespan, which typically ranges from 20 to 25 years. As time passes, your roof will become more vulnerable to damage and wear, so regular inspections ensure the longevity of your roof.
Shingles in Poor Condition
If the shingles are cracked, curled, buckled, or missing, water can penetrate the roof, resulting in damage and potential leaks.
Water Stains or Mold
Mold and mildew in the attic or along the roofline are indications of an excess of moisture. Taking immediate action is essential, as this can lead to structural harm and health hazards.
Granule Loss
Inspecting your gutters and downspouts for large amounts of granules in the runoff is crucial. This could indicate that your shingles are deteriorating and losing their protective layer, making your roof more susceptible to further damage.
Regular roof inspections can help indicate and address these issues before they escalate, saving you from costly repairs. With their expertise and experience, they will thoroughly assess the condition of your roof and provide you with the necessary recommendations to keep your home safe and secure.
