First, inspect your roof from the ground using a pair of binoculars. For your own safety, leave climbing onto your roof to a professional. If your roof is leaking, your repair bills will not only include the roof repair, but the cost of insulation, drywall, paint, furniture and flooring that usually come with a roof leak. Oh, and lets not forget how fun it can be to deal with insurance claims, scheduling roofing contractors, etc. The following factors will help you decide. . Curled Up Shingles: This can allow rain to get in, and the shingles are easily damaged by wind. Worn-off Granules: Granules protect the shingle from sunlight and water. If they're worn off, the shingle will deteriorate. Look for granules in your gutters and by your downspouts. You may see dark spots on the shingles where granules are missing. Loose Or Missing Shingles: This can cause leakage. Cracked Shingles: A common cause of a roof leak. (Nail pops, which are small holes where nails have popped through the shingle, can cause leakage.) Spots On Your Interior Ceiling: May indicate that the roof is leaking and in need of roof repair. Black Or Green Streaks: Algae can discolor your roof and make it look ugly. Age Of Roof: Depending on the quality, most shingles last 10-25 years. If your home is the same age as others in the neighborhood that are getting new roof replacement work, it may be time to replace yours too. I Think I Should Replace my Roof. What Should I Do Next?

A warranty is only as good as the roofer that backs it up. If the roofing contractor has only been in business for a few years and is ready to provide you with a great big warranty -- use caution. I believe a company should be older than the warranty it provides, because this shows the company has a proven track record. All of our warranties are transferable!
