When Do You Need a New Roof?

Having to replace a roof can be a daunting part of home ownership, but putting it off can make existing problems worse and lead to increased costs down the line. In some cases, it is clear to see that a roof needs to be replaced, while other times it is more difficult to spot.

Signs You Need a New Roof

Below is a list of visual indicators that your roof may need to be replaced:

Edges of the shingles are curled
Shingles are cracked or missing
Moss growing between shingles
A sagging roofline
Storm damage
Bald spots or missing granules
Dark streaks on roof
Damaged flashing
Multiple or severe leaks

If you notice any of these signs, you should contact Watermark Exteriors to professionally inspect your roof and determine the best course of action.

Age of Your Roof

Another indicator of a roof needing to be replaced is its overall age. Roof lifespan varies depending on the material it is made out of and the quality of workmanship. It can range anywhere from 15 to 20 years.

Professional Roof Replacement

Hiring a reputable company to replace your roof will give you peace of mind knowing that your investment will last for decades to come. Roof replacement boosts curb appeal, makes your home more energy efficient and, ultimately, increases your home’s value.

Showed up. Showed up on time. Didn't sugar-coat, but also didn't use doom and gloom to get me to but a whole new roof right now. Will definitely get my business when the whole roof has to come off in the future. The patch isn't noticeable at all, which was a giant worry. Thanks watermark.

Utilized Watermark for an issue on our roof. Wes and Mike immediately came out and identified the issue. In addition, they assessed my roof and gave me a TRUTHFUL evaluation and made sure we were taken care of. I am very appreciative of the Watermark and recommend them to anyone.

The roof looks great and I was very impressed by the workmanship of the roofing crew. The project manager assigned to my job, Michael Herr, is one of the best I've worked with. He was very professional in every aspect of this job from inspection, estimation, scheduling... He was a pleasure to work with.

We had a small leak pop up last night that I couldn't tell where it was from. I called Wesley in the morning and within a couple hours he was here. While it was still raining he went up to find the problem. Within 30 minutes he found a few loose nails in a small area that were the culprit. He pulled them out and sealed everything up... I highly recommend these guys to anyone!
