At TIMEPROOFUSA, we know your roof is your home’s first line of defense. Even the best-built roofs eventually show signs of wear, and recognizing those warning signals early can save you thousands in damage and energy costs. Here are ten clear signs that it might be time for a roof replacement.

1. Curling, Cracked, or Missing Shingles
Shingles that are curling, cracking, or missing entirely leave your home exposed to leaks. If you notice bare spots or patches after a storm, it’s a red flag.

2. Granules in Gutters
If you see dark shingle granules washing out of your gutters, your shingles are deteriorating. Once they lose their protective coating, leaks aren’t far behind.

3. Water Stains on Ceilings or Walls
Water marks or bubbling paint inside your home indicate moisture intrusion through the roof structure.

4. Sagging Roof Deck
A roof that appears to sag or dip could signal trapped moisture, compromised decking, or structural issues — all signs replacement may be needed soon.

5. Frequent Leaks or Drips
Even if patch repairs fix leaks temporarily, recurring water issues point to widespread wear.

6. Light Shining Through the Attic
If daylight is visible through the roof boards, it’s time to act. Those openings also allow water and pests inside.

7. Rising Energy Bills
A worn-out roof can cause insulation problems, leading to rising heating and cooling costs.

8. Moss or Algae Growth
Moss traps moisture, speeding up decay. If you spot green growth spreading across shingles, it’s time for an expert inspection.

9. Roof Age Exceeding 20 Years
Most asphalt roofs last about two decades. If yours is older, consider a professional assessment.

10. Damaged Flashing or Roof Valleys
When flashing rusts or valleys crumble, water can penetrate the most vulnerable parts of your roof.

When to Act
Delaying replacement can lead to structural rot, insulation damage, and costly interior repairs. Early detection means smaller bills and longer-lasting protection.
