 It's not always obvious from the ground that your roof may need to be replaced. You may think if your roof isn't leaking, it's good to go! However, that is not always the case. Not sure how to know when it may be time for a roof replacement? Our roofing team at the Lake of the Ozarks has the answers for you! Read on to find out seven signs it may be time for a new roof!

Warning Signs That You May Need To Replace Your Roof 

#1 

Shingle edges are curled or shingle tabs are cupped.

#2

Your roof is at least 20 years old. Although many shingles today are produced for durability, many factors can accelerate the aging of shingles. For example, your shingles can be negatively impacted by improper roof ventilation or storm damage. 

#3

Your roof looks warn and old. If your roof just looks old and worn, it is best to be proactive about replacing your roof at the Lake of the Ozarks before it causes bigger issues.

#4

Bald spots where granules are missing,

#5

If your roof has noticeable signs of moss. Moss can grow on roof surfaces that don’t get much sunlight, especially in cool, moist climates. Moss growth can be more than a cosmetic issue. Moss holds moisture against the roof surface and over time in freezing climates can cause damage to the granules on the top of the shingles. Moss can be brushed off but it won’t prevent it from growing again; take care not to damage the shingle surface. You may need to contact a professional roofing company at the Lake of the Ozarks.

#6

Your shingles are beginning to crack.

#7

Your roof has noticeable dark spots. Airborne algae cause dark streaks on roof decks. While this may not necessarily harm the roof shingles, it may not look good. Algae streaks can be removed using a 50:50 blend of water and bleach sprayed on your roof. It is important to use a low-volume garden hose so you do not knock the protective granules off your shingles. It is also important that you protect your landscaping from the bleach run-off.
