How Do I Know If My Roof Needs Replacing?

Recognizing when your roof needs replacing can save you from dealing with more severe issues down the line. At Lee Roofing Repairs, we understand the importance of keeping your roof in top condition to protect your home and maintain its value. Here are some signs that indicate it might be time to consider a roof replacement.

Signs Your Roof Needs Replacing

• Age of the Roof: Most roofs have a lifespan of 20-25 years. If your roof is nearing this age, it’s wise to start considering replacement.
• Frequent Leaks: If you’re experiencing ongoing leaks despite regular repairs, it might be time for a new roof.
• Curled or Missing Shingles: Shingles that are curled, cracked, or missing are clear indicators that your roof’s integrity might be compromised.

• Dark Streaks or Moss: These can indicate moisture problems, which could lead to bigger issues if not addressed.
