Homeowners don’t often pay attention to their roofing system until it begins to leak or other serious damage occurs. In most cases, roofing issues can be exposed way before major problems happen. If you notice cracked, warped or missing shingles, broken flashing, loose seams, or large amounts of shingle granules in the gutter, it’s probably time to contact a roofing contractor. Cracked paint, peeling wallpaper or wall coverings, and discolored plasterboard can also indicate roof damage. Periodic inspections can help uncover budding problems and allow you to address them before they become a major financial issue.

In order to determine if it’s time to replace your roofing system, Turner Roofing, LLC takes the age, signs of leaks and appearance into account. Keep in mind that roofing systems typically last around 20 years. If your roof is approaching 20 years of age, it is nearing the end of its useful life. If you see signs of water leaking inside your home, there is a good chance the leak has been going on for quite some time. Water can damage rafters, plywood sheathing, ceilings, walls and more. Extensive structural damage can create a huge problem for homeowners. It’s often cheaper and less involved to simply replace the roof before it begins to leak. Lastly, shingles that have begun to curl, break, or warp are a good indication that it’s time for a reroofing service.

The amount of time it takes to complete a reroofing project will depend on the size & complexity of the roof, the weather and season and unforeseen issues with the roofing system. A small, uncomplicated roof may only take a few days to complete whereas a large, complicated roof structure with other issues may take several weeks to finish.
