5 Signs You Need A New Roof

Duration of use: An asphalt shingle roof lasts for 20 to 25 years, and it is advised that it should be replaced after 20 years. Other types of roofs have different durations. You know when a roof was installed and what type it is essential in determining whether you need a new roof.
Cracked or damaged shingles: Shingles should lie flat against the roof. Patches that are cracked or damaged (especially after a hailstorm) are a sign that repairs are needed.
Shingle granules in the gutters and downspouts: Are you noticing a lot of shingle granules in your gutters and downspouts? That is a clear sign that your roof is near its expiration date.
Rotting boards and sagging spots: A sagging and droopy roof must be replaced. Trapped moisture, rotting boards, and sagging spots, especially at the lowest point in the roof, clearly indicate that your roof is at the end of its useful life.
Beams of light coming through the top of the house: Have you noticed beams of light in the attic coming through the roof? Or stains and water streaks? These are signs of a leaking roof and mean you need help for repairs or replacement. Depending on the severity of the above symptoms, a repair or a total replacement could be recommended.

Typical all-peril home insurance will cover the cost of replacing or repairing your roof in case of damage. Especially if the damage is caused by natural disasters like a storm or hail or a sudden accident like a fire outbreak, your home insurance will cover the cost of replacing your roof. Also, the type of damage covered by your insurance will depend on your policy. The terms of your insurance policy might also be determined by the type and quality of your roof.

You may pay more for home insurance if you have a wood roof. Roofs of 20+ years have a minimal cover. Home insurance allows you to replace or repair your roof without breaking the bank.

Your roof is one part of the house most exposed to the elements and their effects. Heavy snow, hail, storm, and gales are all things that can affect your roof. An aging or damaged roof is not the best protection for your home.
