Warning Signs It Might Be Time for a New Roof


1. The Age of Your Roof

The lifespan of a roof depends on its material and maintenance. In general, most roofs need to be replaced every 20-30 years. 

In the unique Central Coast climate, prolonged sun exposure and seasonal rains can take a toll. If your roof is nearing the end of its lifespan, consult a professional roofer to assess its condition. 

2. Visible Wear and Tear

Common signs of damage include:

  • Missing or cracked shingles
  • Curling or buckling roofing materials
  • Persistent leaks or water stains inside your home

Small issues can easily escalate into significant problems if left unaddressed. Even a minor leak can lead to mold growth and structural damage.

If you spot these warning signs, schedule an inspection with our team right away. If a serious storm has recently come through and you are worried of potential damage, our team can get up on your roof and check for any obvious signs of damage.

3. Storm Damage

Winter storms and high winds on the Central Coast can wreak havoc on roofs. 

A strong storm can cause damage even to roofs that previously had a lot of life left. After any significant weather event, inspect your roof or call a professional to check for issues you might not notice from the ground.

4. Energy Inefficiency

An old or poorly insulated roof can lead to higher heating and cooling costs. By upgrading to an energy-efficient roof, you can:

  • Improve insulation
  • Reduce energy consumption
  • Save on utility bills

If your roof is aging, it may be affecting your home’s ability to maintain a consistent temperature. 

5. Cosmetic Considerations

Your roof plays a big role in your home’s curb appeal. If your roof looks outdated, worn, or mismatched, it might be time for a refresh. Not only can this help your home stand out on the block, but it can also boost resale value if you’re planning to sell.

Our experts can help you choose materials and colors that complement your home’s design.
