3 SIGNS IT MAY BE TIME TO REPLACE YOUR ASPHALT ROOF SYSTEM

Roofs in general are one of the least viewed things on your home. An old associate once told me "The average customer comes home after their new roof is installed and looks at it, they come home the next day and maybe the day after that and glance up. A week later its just a roof" He was right! So many customers wait until they see water on their ceilings or on their brand new floors before addressing the roof issues that were visible for years. We have listed 3 signs that it may be time to replace your roof system in the hope that this will help when considering your investment/homes well being.

1. STAINING: The easiest and most obvious is staining on your ceiling. None of us are in the habit of looking up while walking around but it is good practice to look at your ceilings from time to time. Catching a stain early can save you thousands of dollars.

2. DAMAGED/WORN SHINGLES: Most residential roofs are comprised of asphalt shingles and can be easily viewed from the ground. This too will involve looking up but this time you will be looking for missing, curled or cracked shingles. You can also stand back a distance from your home and try to get an overall view of the roof. Do you see the roof glistening while the sun hits it? That is the fiberglass in the asphalt shingles shining through. This is a clear indication that your asphalt shingle roof system is considerably worn and in need of replacement.

3. DAMAGED FASCIA: The asphalt roof system is installed from the bottom or overhang to the top or peak of the roof. The bottom edge is covered with a metal flashing know as Edge Metal. This metal is designed to wick water off of the roof and onto the fascia board. The fascia board is the wood around the perimeter of the overhang. The overhang is designed to keep the water away form your homes foundation. The fascia board plays an integral part in this process. When looking around your home be sure to look at your fascia boards. If you notice any damage this is usually a good time to have a qualified roofing contractor take a closer look to see if there is more damage than what you can see from the ground.
