Common Signs That It’s Time Your Roof Needs to Be Replaced

There are some common signs that indicate it is time for a roofreplacement.

Properly identifying these signs will not only help you decide that it is time to call a roofing company, but can also highlight the urgency in which your roof should be replaced.

Common signs to consider include:

Curled, cracked, or buckling shingles — This often indicates that moisture is accumulating in your attic and is trapped under the shingles. Moisture build up forces nails to push upwards, exposing your shingles to further damage and compromising the integrity of your roof.
Moisture and mold — When your attic is not properly ventilated, moist and warm air can develop, which will rust nails over time, and eventually lead to mold growth. This is a common issue with older homes, as their roofing systems are often over insulated, not allowing for your attic to properly breathe. Mold and mildew are major health concerns, and if you are experiencing any of these issues, replacing your roof should be a priority.
Tar streaking or algae growth — Bacteria growth can often lead to these problems. If your roof is not constructed with high-quality shingles, and instead, contains fillers, such as limestone, this will invite to bacteria eat away at your shingles. This process leads to black streaks around your roof, and makes your home more susceptible to the elements and further damage.
Missing shingles — Replacing missing shingles is an immediate concern. If your roof is missing shingles, then it is automatically open to weather damage.
Shingle granules — When shingles are worn and showing age, they tend to shed granules. A clear indication of this wear and tear is when course, black particles can be found in your gutters. If you are finding shingle granules, that is a sure sign that you are in need of a roof replacement.
Leaks in the attic — Various factors can play a role in attic leaks. However, this isn’t an issue that should be overlooked. If you are experiencing leaks, have your roof inspected, as it could be a minor issue, or an indication of a deteriorating underlayment.

If you are noticing any of these issues, then it is almost certainly time to invest in a roof replacement. The roof serves as your home’s first line of defense against the elements. Therefore, the sooner you identify these issues and call a roofing company, the sooner you can have peace of mind that your roof will protect you and your family.

Clemens Home Solutions did an amazing job on our Gutters this evening. Luis and his team were extremely fast, Knowledgeable, and very polite with their profession. It was a very cold day this evening and his team did fantastic with the elements. I would gladly refer anyone to Clemens Home Solutions for their next home improvement project.

Clemens was absolutely perfect to work with. I received phone calls with updates on the project weekly which actually got completed earlier than expected. The finished job was fantastic, the work was excellent and the new door is of great quality.

I've known I needed to replace large windows in my living room for years. Clemens Home Solutions made that happen and I am so happy with how everything looks and feels! Everyone on the team from sales to installation made me feel like a valued customer. I highly recommend Clemens Home Solutions!

Linda T.

I am very happy with my new gutters. No more leaking at the corners where my old gutters met. i probably got in the way of Luis and his team with all my questions and curiosity of how the gutters were made on sight but both of them were very helpful and friendly and didn't seem to mind me interrupting their work. I've never had a company stay in touch with me before the project was started like they did. I highly recommend them!!

Overall 5 star experience. Our project had some challenges and we had to change plans a few times and someone from Clemens was always in contact with us. The work was completed in a day and they communicated with us during the project. They cleaned up, were super nice, and the windows look wonderful!

Clemens did a great job of replacing my gutters. Eric Logan was a great sales person, no high pressure, just information. Luis and his team did the replacement and were quick and very good! Luis made sure he followed up with me and that I was happy. I asked for a longer down spout on my front porch and Luis came and replaced it right away!! Thank you. They were great to work with.

I recently had my gutters, soffit and fascia done by Clemens. Austin and his crew was amazing . They were professional and kept me updated during the process and their follow-up after the project was even more appreciated. I recommend this great company to anyone.
