5 Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Roof — Tips from JSC Contracting

Your roof does more than just keep the rain out — it protects your entire home from the elements. But even the most well-built roofs don’t last forever. At JSC Contracting, we specialize in helping homeowners identify roofing problems before they turn into costly repairs. Here are five signs it might be time to consider a roof replacement:

1. Your Roof Is 20+ Years Old

Most asphalt shingle roofs last between 20 to 25 years. If your roof is approaching or past that age, it’s time for an inspection. Even if it looks fine from the ground, aging materials can lead to leaks, poor insulation, and structural issues.

2. Curling or Missing Shingles

Shingles that are curling, buckling, or missing altogether are a clear red flag. This kind of wear leaves your home vulnerable to water damage and mold. It also means your roof may no longer be properly ventilated.

3. Granules in the Gutters

If you notice sand-like granules accumulating in your gutters, your shingles are deteriorating. These granules are designed to protect the roof from UV rays and extreme weather. Without them, your shingles are more prone to cracking and failure.

4. Water Stains on Ceilings or Walls

Interior water stains are often a sign of a leaky roof. If you see discoloration or sagging spots inside your home, especially after rain, it’s time to call in a professional.

5. Visible Sagging or Soft Spots

A sagging roofline or soft areas when walking on the roof may indicate underlying structural damage. This can be a sign of long-term water infiltration or rotting wood — both of which require immediate attention.
