How to Tell if You Need a New Roof

Signs It’s Time to Repair or Replace Your Roof

Your roof is your home’s first line of defense against the elements, so keeping it in top shape is crucial. At Bumble Roofing, we understand the importance of regular roof maintenance. But how can you tell when it’s time for a repair or a full new roof replacement? This guide will walk you through the key signs to watch for, so you can keep your home safe and dry. 

Signs of a Leaky Roof

Leaky roofs can cause significant damage if left untreated. Start by checking your ceilings and walls for water stains or discoloration. These can appear as yellow or brown spots, hinting at water seeping through the roof.

You should also inspect your attic for moisture, mold, or mildew. A damp or musty smell in the attic is often a clear sign of a leaky roof. Addressing leaks early can save you from costly repairs later.

Damaged or Curling Shingles

Curling or damaged shingles are another easy-to-spot sign of roofing trouble. When shingles curl at the edges or develop cracks, it typically means they’ve reached the end of their lifespan or have endured extreme weather conditions. 

Look for missing shingles too. If you notice gaps in your roofing, it’s time to act. Damaged shingles compromise your roof’s ability to protect your home, making it vulnerable to further damage.

Hail and Storm Damage

Extreme weather events like hailstorms and heavy winds can wreak havoc on your roof. Hail damage often leaves behind dents or pockmarks on shingles, while strong winds can blow shingles away entirely. 

After a storm, take a walk around your property and inspect your roof for signs of damage. If accessing your roof feels unsafe, Bumble Roofing can perform a professional inspection for you. Storm damaged roofs often need immediate attention to prevent leaks and structural issues.

When to Consider a New Roof Replacement

While minor issues can sometimes be resolved with roof repair, there comes a time when replacement is the smarter choice. Consider a roof replacement if your roof is over 20 years old, showing widespread damage, or if repairs have become a recurring expense. 

A new roof not only improves your home’s protection but also boosts its curb appeal and energy efficiency. Bumble Roofing specializes in affordable, high-quality roof replacements tailored to your needs.
