6 Signs it’s Time to Replace your Roof

Every roof has an expected service life. Trying to squeeze in a few extra years of use could result in a roof that no longer retains its integrity and ability to repel rain, wind, snow, or ice. Before water intrusion can cause structural damage to your home, you should replace the roof with a new, weather-tight roofing system. Look for these six signs that you need a roof replacement:

1. Cracked or curled shingles.
2. Mineral buildup in gutters.
3. Excessive moss, mold, or mildew growth.
4. Loose or missing flashing.
5. Damp or rotting decking (viewed from attic).
6. Soft spots on roof.

If you spot one or more of these problems, it may be an indicator that your home’s roof has aged or been damaged beyond reasonable repair. When that happens, make the call to Western Products.
