Sagging roof.
You may be able to save your roof...
If you think you might need a new roof, the first place to check should be your attic. Look for beams of light shining through or discoloration from streaks or stains. This means your exterior has a leak and depending on the damage, needs to be repaired or replaced.
Your roof is only aging and the bad news is, every roof will need to be replaced eventually. The good news is, sometimes it’s possible for it to get patched or repaired. If there’s only minor damage to your roof or if only a small area is affected, there’s no need to replace the whole roof prematurely. A fallen branch can cause damage to a few shingles and wind can lead to some missing shingles. In both situations it makes sense to have the roof fixed, which is relatively easy and inexpensive. Even if your roof is leaking it might be possible to get it patched. That is, as long as it only leaks from one isolated spot.
It's time to replace your roof...
As previously mentioned, age is one of the most common reasons a roof needs to be replaced. If you notice a large amount of missing shingles and shingle debris clogging the gutters, there’s no doubt it’s time to replace your roof. Are your shingles curling at the edges or are they significantly discolored? These are sure signs of decline to your roof. The one thing you should be concerned about most is a sagging roof as this points to a structural issue.
Only a well-maintained roof in good condition can protect your family and belongings from rain, wind and hail.
