When is it Time for a New Roof?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Roofs in Atlanta take a beating. The heat sits on your shingles all summer, then spring rolls in with the storms<\/a>, and every year or two, a hailstorm shows up out of nowhere and does its thing. They wear out quicker than the warranty makes it sound. So if yours is getting old and you’ve caught yourself wondering whether you need new roofing<\/a>, that hunch is worth paying attention to. Here are five things we tell folks to watch for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. <\/strong>Start With the Age of Your Roof<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Age is the big one. Around here, most asphalt shingle roofs last about 20 to 25 years<\/a> before they’re done, and some push past that, but many don’t. Especially the cheap builder-grade shingles that went up on half the subdivisions in the late 90s. Don’t know how old yours is? There are a couple of ways to find out. Dig through the closing documents from when you bought the place, pull the permit history off the county site, or just let us climb up and eyeball it ourselves. Once a roof hits 20, you’re not really asking if it needs replacing, but when.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. <\/strong>Shingles That Are Curling, Cracking, or Just Gone<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Stand at the end of your driveway and look up. Really look. If you spot shingles curling at the corners, cracking, or bubbling, that’s the material giving out on you. Same with the bald patches where one blew off in a storm, and nobody ever got back up there to fix it. A missing shingle here and there is usually just a roof repair<\/a>. But when half the roof looks rough and beat up, patching it is throwing good money after bad. Extensive damage typically calls for a replacement<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. <\/strong>Granules Collecting in Your Gutters<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Shingles have these little granules baked onto them, basically a layer of grit that takes the UV hit so the asphalt underneath doesn’t. They don’t last forever. As the roof ages, they loosen up and wash down into the gutters, and you’ll start finding them piled at the bottom of the downspouts. A little is fine. New roofs shed some, too. But a gutter full of grit, plus shingles that look smooth and shiny in the spots where the granules used to be, means the protective layer is giving up. Your roof is telling you something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. <\/strong>Leaks, Water Stains, and a Sagging Roofline<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These less subtle signs of damage typically get people moving, since it’s now inside the house. Brown stains on the ceiling, damp spots in the attic after it rains, or daylight coming through the roof boards all point to a failing roof. A sagging roofline is serious. That usually means leaking water<\/a> has gotten into the decking underneath and started rotting it out. At that point, routine roof maintenance<\/a> won’t fix it, and waiting makes the eventual job bigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. <\/strong>Your Insurance Company Is Asking About the Roof’s Age<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here’s one homeowners rarely see coming. Insurers in Georgia have become much stricter about roof age. Some won’t write a new policy on a roof past a certain point, and others will only cover it at actual cash value instead of full replacement cost. If your renewal letter suddenly mentions the roof, or your premium jumps, the age of your roof is usually the reason. Getting ahead of it with a new roof can save you the headache, and sometimes the higher premium, down the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
