Carmel Roof Replacement

Not every roofing problem shows up as a big, obvious leak. Sometimes the signs are more subtle—until they’re not. Here are a few things to keep an eye on if you’re wondering whether it’s time for a new roof:

• Shingles that are missing, curling, or cracked
  Shingles are your roof’s first line of defense. When they start to curl at the edges, crack down the center, or go missing altogether, water can sneak in underneath. If you’re seeing widespread damage—or if repairs are starting to feel like a regular thing—it may be time to think about a full roof replacement.
• Leaks or water stains in the attic or ceiling
  A small leak might not seem like a big deal at first, but over time, even a slow drip can lead to mold, rotted wood, and damage to insulation or drywall. If you’ve noticed dark spots, damp areas, or peeling paint on your ceiling, your roof could be the source.
• Granule loss and clogged gutters
  Shingle granules help protect the roof of your Carmel home from UV rays and the elements. If you’re finding piles of them in your gutters or around your downspouts, it usually means your shingles are wearing out. Granule loss is a clear sign that your roof’s protective layer is breaking down.
• Sagging rooflines or daylight visible through boards
  A sagging roof can point to structural issues below the surface—like water-damaged decking or weakened rafters. And if you can see daylight coming through the boards in your attic, that’s a sign your roof is no longer sealing out the weather like it should.
• A roof that’s 20+ years old
  Most asphalt shingle roofs last about 20 to 25 years. Even if yours looks okay from the ground, it might be past its best years. Older roofs are more prone to hidden damage and often aren’t as energy efficient as modern replacements.

Spotting these issues early can help you avoid bigger, more expensive problems later. If you’ve noticed any of these signs, it’s a good idea to have the roof of your Carmel home professionally inspected.
