For your home to remain optimally protected from the elements, you need your roofing to be in excellent condition. Especially as a roof nears the end of its lifespan, wear and tear can create an opportunity for leaks to develop. In some instances, spot repairs are the best option because the bulk of the roofing is still in strong shape. But in many cases, it makes more financial sense to go ahead and install a new roof. At Accurate Roofing, we provide expert re-roofing in the greater Los Angeles area. Here’s a look at some of the common signs that you need roof replacement.

Water Leaks

Sometimes water leaks occur because a heavy object impacted the roof. In such cases, localized water leak repair will usually take care of the issue. But if water leaks have become a persistent problem throughout your roof, then it could be time for a re-roofing project.

Shingles Are Curling/Buckling

Curling/buckling shingles are a sign of serious damage from excessive moisture. If just a few shingles have become deformed, it’s possible that you’ll be able to replace only them. But if this problem is widespread throughout your roof, then roof replacement may be necessary. 

Roof Reaches End of Lifespan

Asphalt shingle, which is the most common type of roofing in the country, commonly lasts for somewhere between 15 and 40 years, depending on the quality of the shingles that are chosen. Wood shake roofs often last for 30 to 40 years. Slate tile roofs have a life expectancy of between 75 and 200 years, while clay tiles can be expected to last 50 to 100 years.

Fire Damage

If an inferno affects your roof, it’s likely that damage will be caused by more than just the flames. Water from dousing the flames, as well as smoke damage, can also substantially hurt your roof’s structural integrity, which could mean you’ll need roof replacement.

Storm Damage

During a major windstorm, big trees sometimes come crashing down, which can have devastating impacts on roofs. When a roof suffers major storm damage, replacement may be needed.
