Roofs that trap moisture for long deteriorate the integrity of the structure, causing roofs to leak, demanding repairs and replacement. Look for signs of moisture in the insulation of your attic. If you notice moisture accumulation and growth of mold, mildew, or fungus there, you are probably facing roof leakage. Sagging roofs and rotting boards are also a call for replacement.
The age of your roof is a prime indicator in determining whether your roof needs a replacement. Going by the words of experts, it is believed that a roof can serve you well for about 20 years. But the need for replacement depends a lot on the material used for its construction, the climate of the area where it is installed, and the maintenance regime.
Therefore, roofs aged beyond twenty years are prone to fail, facing water intrusion, and deterioration over time. Waiting for a replacement can cause further severe damage and thus it is necessary to get your roof inspected and replaced if required.
While the above symptoms indicate the need for roof replacement, it is also necessary that you get them replaced at the right time. Most homeowners prefer to get their shingles replaced after the rainy season in the summer and fall months because the weather is good during this period and creates an ideal environment for work.
On the other hand, long summer days make it easy to complete a roof replacement in a single day. The fall season also offers an adequate working environment with cooler days and lower humidity.
