Signs You Need a New Roof

No one wants the unexpected news that they need a new roof, so it’s always best to plan ahead for the expense. Here are some of the most common warning signs your roofing in Colorado Springs is due for replacement.
Leaks or water stains. Recurring leak problems often signal the need for a new roof. Wetness or water stains may be visible on interior ceilings, which can then be traced to the attic and the roof. When not caught early, leaks will lead to rot, mold and other costly problems.
Storm damage. Depending on the severity, storms can cause enough damage to warrant complete roof replacement. Typical types of storm damage include missing and torn shingles, damaged flashing, and bruising caused by hail impact.
Worn shingles. As shingles age, their protective granule surface gradually wears away, leaving the internal mat exposed. Watch for excessive amounts of granules in the gutters, a sign of advanced wear.
Curling or blistering shingles. Attic ventilation problems, manufacturer defects and improper installation can ruin shingles.
