How to determine if your Roof needs to be Replaced?

You’re thinking it might be time to replace the roof on your home but you’re not quite sure. Here are some steps that Signature Exteriors of Stamford, CT would like you to consider before you make a decision on replacing your roof.


Step 1: Look inside, not at the exterior
Get in the attic and look around. Is there light coming through the roof? Are there stains and streaks on the plywood or framing overhead? If so, it might be an indication water is penetrating the roof.

Step 2: Determine the age of your roof
Do you know the age of your current roof? Have you recently purchased the home and have no records from the previous owners? Are you aware of extensive repairs and when and where those repairs were made? These are all questions that will help you decide if a new roof is needed on your home.


Step 3: Check the shingles 
Shingles on a roof should lie flat. Following a heavy storm, owners often complain about leaks. Check for signs of damage. Are shingles cracked or buckling? Are shingles deteriorating from wear? If so, it might be time to call a roof installer for an estimate.

Step 4: Check for damaged flashing 
Flashing is installed to keep moisture out. Flashing wears out over time. If flashing is damaged or if flashing is missing, then water damage is virtually guaranteed.

Step 5: What is the color of your roof?
If your roof is faded and appears to be different colors, then the shingles are beginning to show wear. Also take a look at your outside walls. Are there streaks from water running down the side of your home or stains from deteriorating shingles? These are signs that your roof is not functioning as it should. Call an expert.


After reviewing these steps and you decide to Replace your Roof, give Signature Exteriors of Stamford, CT a call at 1-866-244-8029 and schedule a no-cost estimate. We have been serving customers in Fairfield and Westchester counties for nearly 70 years. We look forward to your call.
