When Should I Replace My Roof
In this video you will learn from an expert roof contractor that what is the right time to replace your roof? Furthermore, you will get guidance about the signs of getting a new roof.
So according to the roof contractor, firstly, you must replace the roof if it’s leaking or damaged. You need to look at the shingles, if the shingle system of your roof is pretty old (like 15 to 20 years), you need to either improve its condition or get a new one.
In case your roof is penetrated, due to hill hit or blistering it is going to decrease the lifespan of your roof. Poor ventilation can also be the reason behind penetration. Due to the penetrations water gets down in the decking of the roofing system.

Brittle shingles can easily be broken even by the hailstones. The next very significant thing is the layer of algae usually grows on your roofs.
