Signs That You Need a New Roof
The clearest signs you need a new roof are curling or missing shingles, granules collecting in gutters, water stains on ceilings, daylight in the attic, and a roof past its rated age. Any one is worth a professional inspection, which confirms whether a repair will do or a replacement is due.
New Roof Guide connects you with licensed local companies - we are not a contractor.
GuideWhat should you look for?
Some signs show from the ground - curling, missing or streaked shingles, and sagging areas. Others show from inside - ceiling stains, damp insulation, or daylight through the roof deck. Granules collecting in gutters mean the protective surface is wearing away. Any of these is a cue to book an inspection.
How do you get an accurate price?
Estimates and ranges are a starting point - the number that actually matters is an itemized written quote for your address. For the bigger picture, see our roof inspection guide and the full roofing cost guide, then request written quotes. Comparing a few, line by line, is the surest way to a fair price.
