5 Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Roof

Your roof is one of the most important parts of your home — and the most overlooked until it starts leaking. At Ray White Roofing, we believe in helping homeowners make informed decisions before small problems turn into expensive ones. Here are five clear signs it might be time to consider a roof replacement.

1. Your Roof Is Over 20 Years Old

Most asphalt shingle roofs have a lifespan of 20–25 years. If your roof is hitting that age — especially if it wasn’t installed over a solid deck or has only one layer of shingles — it’s time for a professional inspection. Even if it looks fine from the street, unseen damage could be building underneath.

2. You Notice Curling, Cracked, or Missing Shingles

Shingles are your roof’s first defense. When they start to curl, crack, or blow off in the wind, water can quickly find its way in. These signs often mean your shingles are losing their protective granules — a telltale sign of an aging roof.

3. You See Dark Streaks or Moss Growing

Black streaks (often caused by algae) and moss growth can trap moisture and cause your roof to deteriorate faster. While cleaning can help in early stages, long-term streaking often indicates it’s time for an upgrade.

4. Your Roof Is Sagging

A sagging roof isn’t just a cosmetic problem — it’s a structural one. It could be due to trapped moisture, rotting decking, or failing supports. If you notice sagging areas, it’s critical to act quickly.

5. You’ve Had Frequent Leaks or Repairs

If you’ve called out a roofer more than once in the past year for leaks or patch jobs, it may be more cost-effective to invest in a full replacement. A new roof brings peace of mind — and often increases your home’s value and curb appeal.
