Your home needs a roof to be protected from the elements. If you live in the Bay Area, where rainy days are common, this is especially true. Here are a few telltale signs that it's time to repair or replace your roof. When you need residential roofing services, call the experts at Advantage Roofing in San Francisco.
How Old Is Your Roof?
The lifespan of a roof might range from 15 to 100 years, depending on the material it’s built with. Asphalt roll roofing has the shortest lifespan when compared to slate and cement roofs, which, depending on how well they are maintained, can frequently last 50 to 100 years. If it looks like your roof is sagging, contact a roofing expert right now.
Shingle Appearance
Look at your shingles. Sometimes, you might simply need to replace the ones that are missing or broken. You should replace your roof if the vast majority of your shingles are curled or damaged. Also, check your gutters and downspouts for shingle fragments. This indicates that the shingles must be replaced since they have begun to deteriorate.
Pest Presence
San Francisco is a haven for wildlife. However, you incur the risk of structural damage if they enter your house. Mice and rats prefer living inside of insulation and walls. Keep a sharp eye out for them in the fall and winter when they are attempting to flee the cold even though they can be a problem all year.
A Termite’s primary food source is wood. Fortunately, early-stage termite damage is easily repairable. If you notice birds often perching on your roof, be aware that bird droppings can potentially harm your shingles by causing them to deteriorate.
