Top 5 Signs It Is Time for a Roof Replacement in Georgia

Replacing a roof is a significant investment, and many homeowners push it off until it is too late. Waiting until water is pouring through your ceiling can result in thousands of dollars in extra drywall and structural repairs.

1. Your Roof is Approaching Its 20th Birthday

The average architectural asphalt shingle roof lasts between 20 and 25 years. If your roof is approaching this age, the materials are likely brittle and nearing the end of their functional lifespan.

2. Curling, Cracking, or Cupping Shingles

Are the edges of the shingles turning upward or are the centers lifting? This is a sign of extreme weathering and poor attic ventilation. Shingles in this condition are no longer waterproof.

3. Bald Spots (Missing Granules)

The coarse granules on top of your shingles protect the asphalt from the sun and add fire resistance. Bald spots where the black asphalt shows through means the shingles are failing.

4. A Sagging Roof Deck

If your roof looks like it is drooping or sagging in certain areas, it means the underlying decking is rotting from trapped moisture. Call Seal Top Roofing immediately if you notice this.

5. Daylight Shining Through Roof Boards

Head up to your attic during the day. If you see sunlight peeking through the roof boards, or feel active moisture in the insulation, your roof is currently failing to keep the elements out.
