So you think it might be time for a new roof? But you are not sure how to tell. There are several methods:
- Check for water damage or moisture in your attack. Look for moisture marks and stains, or peeling paint in your home. Those are typical signs that you need a new roof.
- Find out when your roof was built. Roofs have pretty typical life spans, depending on the material type, so if your roof was put on twenty or more years ago, that’s when it is time for a new roof.
- If your roof is sagging in place, that’s a sign. Look at the lowest points in your roof to check for sagging or places where moisture is trapped.
- If you see moss or mold on your roof, that is when it is time for a new roof.
- If you have missing shingles… or if any of your shingles are curling or buckling, it might be time to have your roof inspected.
- You might be missing flashing or fascia… in that situation, you might be asking when is it time for a new roof?
If any of the above items apply to your roof, call in the local pro’s… call Karis Construction at 317-360-8467 or email us at [email protected] for a free roofing quote.
Roof Life Expectancy
A roof life expectancy is the best way to tell when it’s time for a new roof. Roofs have a fairly typical life expectancy. If you have a slate, copper or tile roof, you can expect your roof to last fifty years or longer. Wood shake roofs usually last about 30 years in Greenwood. Fiber cement roods will last about 25 years – and asphalt shingle roofs will last about 20 years.

Old Roof
If you have an old roof, there are certain steps you can take to protect your home. First, request a free inspection from roofing professionals. Performing roofing repairs is beyond the capability of the average homeowner and can actually be dangerous. Talk to the pro’s about your old roof, find out what all your options are, and then consider replacing or repairing your old roof.

Old Roof Shingles
