Look for signs such as missing, cracked, or curling shingles; leaks in the attic or ceiling; excessive shingle granules in the gutters; sagging roof deck; and visible light coming through the roof.
It's recommended to have your roof inspected at least once a year, preferably in the fall before harsh weather sets in, or after a significant weather event.
The lifespan of a roof depends on the material used. Asphalt shingles last about 20-30 years, while materials like metal, tile, and slate can last 50 years or more with proper maintenance.
While minor repairs might be manageable for a DIY enthusiast with the right tools and knowledge, major repairs or replacements are best handled by professionals due to the complexity and risk involved.
The cost of a new roof varies widely based on factors like the size of the roof, the materials used, and your location. It’s best to get multiple quotes from trusted contractors to understand the potential investment.
