Your roof is your home’s first line of defense against the elements, yet it's often the most overlooked part of your property. Out of sight, out of mind—until a leak starts dripping into your living room or shingles start flying off during a storm. Knowing when it's time to replace your roof can save you from costly repairs and major headaches down the line.
Here are five critical signs that it may be time for a roof replacement—and how Tectum Roofing, your trusted roofing partner, can make the process smooth, affordable, and worry-free.
1. Your Roof Is Over 20 Years Old
Most asphalt shingle roofs are designed to last between 20 to 25 years. If your roof is approaching or exceeding that age—even if it looks okay from the ground—it could be at the end of its life cycle. Over time, shingles lose their protective granules, become brittle, and are more prone to damage from wind, rain, and UV rays.
Tectum Roofing offers free roof inspections to help you assess the current condition of your roof. Their trained experts can evaluate whether your roof still has a few good years left or if it’s time to start planning for a full replacement.
2. You Notice Curling, Cracked, or Missing Shingles
If you’ve noticed shingles that are curling at the edges, cracking, or even falling off altogether, it’s a clear sign of roof deterioration. These issues not only affect the appearance of your home, but they also compromise your roof’s ability to protect against water intrusion and wind damage.
When you choose Tectum Roofing, their team conducts a thorough assessment and will show you exactly where the damage lies. They’ll never pressure you into a replacement if a repair will do—but they’ll be honest if a new roof is your best option.
3. Leaks and Water Damage Inside the Home
Water stains on ceilings or walls, peeling paint, or visible mold growth inside your attic are strong indicators of roof failure. Small leaks can often go unnoticed for months, quietly causing rot, mold, and structural damage.
Tectum Roofing uses advanced diagnostic tools—including drones and infrared technology—to detect leaks and pinpoint their sources. If a leak is minor, they may recommend targeted repairs. But if the leak is widespread or recurring, they’ll walk you through your replacement options with transparency and professionalism.
4. Sagging or Uneven Rooflines
A roof that appears to sag or has uneven sections could indicate structural problems, often caused by long-term water damage, poor initial construction, or failing materials. Sagging is a red flag and should never be ignored—it can be dangerous.
Tectum’s roofing specialists have years of experience identifying and correcting underlying structural issues. Their team works with engineers and city inspectors when necessary to ensure your new roof isn’t just beautiful, but also safe and up to code.
5. Granules in the Gutters or Bald Spots on Shingles
Those small granules that coat your asphalt shingles serve an important purpose: they protect the shingle from sun damage and increase water resistance. If you’re finding granules in your gutters or seeing bald patches on your shingles, your roof’s protective layer is rapidly wearing away.
Tectum Roofing knows the signs of granule loss and can advise whether your roof has reached a critical stage. They use high-quality shingles with longer lifespans and offer extended warranties to give you peace of mind.
