The Roof’s Age

The first question you need to ask is: how old is your roof? If your roof is more than 15 to 20 years old, it may be time for a replacement. The only real exception is if you have a metal roof as this roofing material is known to last for at least 50 years.

The Shingles Are Curling or Buckling

When the shingles on your roof start curling or buckling, it is a sign you need roof replacement in Bergen County NJ. Truthfully, shingles buckle and curl for a number of different reasons:

• The roofing material is reaching the end of its lifespan
• The shingles were improperly installed on top of old shingles
• The shingles are defective
• The shingles were not installed properly

Fortunately, a professional roofers can assess the condition of your shingles and determine the best course of action.

Some Shingles Are Missing

Shingles falling off of your roof may also be a sign that your roof is failing and needs to be replaced. This is another situation where you would need a professional roofer to take a look. He or she would be able to assess whether a repair or a replacement is the best course of action.

The Daylight is Coming Inside

If you are comfortable getting up on your roof and having a walk around, it is a great way to see whether or not your roof needs replaced. Your roof should never have a spongey feel when you walk on it. It certainly shouldn’t feel like you are trying to walk on a trampoline. This could be a sign your roof decking has been damaged by water. You can confirm this by going into your attic (if you have one) and seeing if daylight is coming in through the roof boards. You can also confirm this by checking to see if the insulation at the top of your home is accumulating moisture because it shouldn’t be.

When it comes to your roof, it is always best to trust your gut. Do not be afraid to contact our professional roofer for an inspection if you think you might need roof replacement. It is better to be safe than sorry.
