Expert Advice from Gordy Roofing
Keeping your East Texas home’s roof in good shape is essential to safeguarding your financial investment and your family’s safety. Protecting you from the elements, your roof will eventually need to be replaced due to wear and tear. But when is the right time? How do you know that it’s time for you to reach out and get an inspection? Here are five telltale symptoms that your roof needs to be replaced, along with some helpful pointers to keep in mind while you make this decision.
1) The Roof’s Age
The age of your roof is a major element to consider. Roofs made of metal, tile, or slate typically endure longer than asphalt shingles, which typically last between 20 and 25 years. If your roof’s age is getting close to or already at its stated lifespan, you should start thinking about replacing it. While your roof might look great from the ground, the structural integrity and condition are hard to tell from such a distance. You must have a professional roof inspection.
A professional roofing company using advanced technology, such as Gordy Roofing, can inspect your roof and inform you of its state and any developing problems. This preventative maintenance will help you save money in the long run and keep your roof in excellent shape. Call us at (903) 725-5530 if you want a free roof assessment or think your roof has seen better days. We would be happy to take a look and provide our expert opinion.
2) Missing or broken shingles
After a major storm, especially with high winds or hail, it’s crucial to check the condition of your roof. Check for broken, missing, or curled-up shingles. If your shingles are broken, water can seep through to the roof deck and cause costly structural damage. It’s crucial to get in touch if you suspect the weather has damaged your roof.
If your roof has sustained damage, it must be repaired immediately to preserve its structural integrity. We suggest selecting high-quality materials to ensure the new shingles last as long as possible.
3) Leaks or other signs of water damage
Signs of roof damage include water stains on the ceiling or walls, mold, or obvious leaks in the attic. If you are experiencing any of these issues, you need to reach out right away, as they can quickly worsen and result in more costly repairs to your home’s structure and interior.
Contact Gordy Roofing immediately if you find any signs of water damage or leaks. Our expert team will perform a comprehensive inspection to determine the cause of the problem and provide recommendations for fixing it, which may include a roof replacement.
4) Roof Deck Sagging
If you notice a sag in your roof, it could indicate a more serious problem. A drooping roof deck may result from deteriorating materials, an excessive load, or poor installation.
This type of roofing problem could cause safety concerns. We would be happy to look at the problem and give you our professional opinion on what to do, which may include recommending a new roof. However, we won’t know until we look at your situation to give you our expert opinion.
5) Problems with Granule Loss and Overflowing Gutters
Granules on asphalt shingles can wear away over time. The granules in your gutters or downspouts may indicate that it is time to replace your roof.
Gutter maintenance includes checking for granule buildup and cleaning them out regularly. If you believe you have experienced a significant loss, a professional roof check should be scheduled.
