1. Age
Architectural shingles last 25–30 years. If yours are approaching this age, plan ahead.
2. Curling Shingles
Curling at edges or buckling in the middle means shingles are near end of life.
3. Missing Shingles
Widespread loss after wind storms indicates the adhesive strips have failed roof-wide.
4. Granule Loss
Large amounts of dark granules in eavestroughs mean shingles are shedding their protective coating.
5. Daylight in Attic
Visible light means gaps — and where light enters, water and cold air follow.
6. Sagging Roofline
Uneven or sagging areas indicate structural problems requiring urgent attention.
7. Rising Energy Bills
A failing roof with compromised insulation causes your HVAC to work much harder.
