You will decrease your energy bills in addition to increasing your home’s value!

Keep the following warning signs in mind:

Missing, Broken, And Curled Shingles

What is the status of your roof shingles? Missing, curled, and broken shingles in high numbers generally point to roof replacement. A few curled or broken shingles are easy enough to repair, however a multitude of damaged shingles is cause for concern. The same is true if you notice an increasing number of shingles scattered around your home.

Sagging Roof

A sagging roof is a serious issue that should never be ignored. It indicates a structural problem that could result in a full or partial collapse. Don’t gamble with the contents of your home and the people who live there–work with your Los Angeles remodeling contractors to identify the cause of the sag and commission the necessary replacement.

Age

How old is your roof? An asphalt shingle roof that’s more than 20 years old should be replaced. Shingle roofs do not last more than 25 years, with 30 years an example of “pushing it.” A metal roof lasts for as long as 50 years, so consider replacing your current roof with a metal option if it suits your home’s aesthetic.

Sunlight In The Attic

Sunlight streaming through your attic ceiling boards is never a good thing. If sunlight can stream through, so can rain and snow. When left unchecked, you’re looking at water damage, rot, and mold and mildew formation. Get your roof replaced to avoid all of these issues.

Other signs your roof needs replacing include shingle granules in your gutters, roof valleys, and severely-damaged flashing. Contact the Los Angeles general contractors at Joel & Co. Construction today to schedule a consultation.
