The age of your roof also plays a significant role in determining its condition. Most asphalt shingle roofs last between 20 and 30 years. If your roof is nearing the end of its lifespan, it’s wise to schedule an inspection to assess whether repairs or a replacement are necessary. Additionally, a sagging roofline should never be ignored, as it can signal deeper structural issues such as water damage or weakened decking.

When they accumulate, it’s a sign that your roof is wearing down and becoming less effective at shielding your home from the elements.
By staying vigilant and conducting regular inspections, you can extend the life of your roof and avoid unexpected expenses. Addressing potential issues early ensures that your home remains protected, efficient, and structurally sound for years to come.
