A good roof can last for decades, especially when it is maintained with regular repairs. But eventually, age and wear mean a roof needs to be replaced entirely. Here are a few signs to watch for to determine when it’s time for a full roof replacement.

When to Schedule a Roof Replacement

1. You Can See Daylight

When you enter your attic or crawlspace, light coming through the roof indicates holes. A few scattered ones can be located and repaired, but if there are many, it makes more sense to replace the entire roof—both to ensure everything is patched and to avoid more holes developing.

2. Multiple Leaks

Similarly, if you experience multiple or chronic roof leaks, this can indicate that your shingles or tiles are beginning to wear out, allowing water through. Keep an eye out not just for dripping water, but for water and mold stains on ceilings, upper walls, and insulation.

3. Missing Shingles

If your home faces a storm or other rough weather, it’s normal to lose a few shingles, which can be replaced afterward. But if you lose many at once, or losses accumulate over time, you may be better off replacing the full roof than trying to patch all of the holes.

​​​​​​​4. Visible Sagging

The underlying structure of your roof is the most important feature in determining if it is salvageable. If your roof ages visibly, this is an immediate safety problem, as it indicates the structure is weakening and could collapse, making re-roofing urgent.

​​​​​​​5. You Want to Upgrade

Roofing options have come a long way in recent years, resulting in several attractive, affordable, and energy-efficient options. To save on your cooling bill and improve the aesthetics of your home, you may want to upgrade to a metal roof.
