Signs You Need Roof Replacement Services

In the Seattle area, the unique climate characterized by frequent rain and relatively mild temperatures can take a toll on roofs. Here are common signs that indicate it might be time for a roof replacement:

1. Moss and Algae Growth: Due to the wet climate, moss and algae can grow on roofs, particularly on shaded areas. While some moss can be removed, extensive growth might indicate moisture is trapped, potentially leading to roof damage.
2. Shingle Curling or Buckling: Excessive moisture can cause shingles to curl or buckle. This is a clear sign that they are nearing the end of their lifespan and may need to be replaced.
3. Missing or Damaged Shingles: High winds and storms can cause shingles to become loose or even go missing. If you notice a significant number of missing or damaged shingles, it may be time to consider a roof replacement.
4. Leaky Roof: Persistent leaks, especially after heavy rainfall, can indicate underlying issues such as rotting or damaged underlayment, which often necessitates a roof replacement.
5. Sagging Roof Deck: If you notice that the roof deck (the underlying structure) is sagging, this is a serious issue. It could mean that there is significant water damage or that the roof’s structural integrity has been compromised.
6. Granule Loss: Shingles in Seattle tend to lose granules due to constant exposure to rain and wind. If you find a large amount of granules in your gutters or around your property, it may be a sign that the shingles are deteriorating.
7. Age of the Roof: Most asphalt shingle roofs last about 20-25 years. If your roof is approaching this age, it’s wise to consider a replacement before major problems arise, especially given Seattle’s rainy climate.
8. Flashing Damage: The flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights can deteriorate or crack over time, especially with Seattle’s constant moisture. Damaged flashing can lead to leaks and other issues, making it a sign that the roof may need replacing.
