How to Know If You Need a New Roof
How to Know If You Need a New Roof: Expert Guidance from Mendez GC
Determining whether your roof needs replacement can be challenging without professional insight. At Mendez GC, we leverage advanced technology, including drones and AI, to provide accurate assessments and ensure you only get a new roof if you truly need it. Here's how to recognize the signs of a deteriorating roof and understand our cutting-edge approach to roof inspections.
Signs You May Need a New Roof
1. Age of Your Roof
Lifespan: Most roofing materials have a specific lifespan. For instance, asphalt shingles typically last 20-25 years, while metal roofs can last up to 50 years. If your roof is nearing the end of its expected life, it's time for a thorough inspection.
2. Visible Damage
Shingles: Look for curling, buckling, or missing shingles. Damaged shingles are a clear indicator that your roof may need replacement.
Granules: Check your gutters for granules. A significant amount of granules in the gutter indicates the shingles are deteriorating.
Leaks and Water Damage: Water stains on your ceiling or walls can be a sign of a leaking roof, which may require a full replacement if the damage is extensive.
3. Roof Sagging
Structural Issues: A sagging roof is a serious concern and often indicates structural damage. This problem requires immediate professional attention and likely a new roof.
4. Mold, Moss, or Algae Growth
Excessive Growth: While some growth is natural, excessive mold, moss, or algae can trap moisture against your roof, leading to damage. Persistent issues might mean it's time for a new roof.
5. Daylight Through the Roof Boards
Attic Inspection: Check your attic for any daylight coming through the roof boards. If light can pass through, so can water, which means your roof needs attention.
