Most homeowners don’t think about their roof—until it starts leaking. But waiting until there’s water damage inside your home can cost you thousands in repairs. Catching the warning signs early could save you time, money, and a major headache.

Here are 10 signs you may need a new roof:

1. Missing or cracked shingles – A sure sign your roof is deteriorating.

2. Shingle granules in gutters – Shingles shedding means aging materials.

3. Sagging roofline – Indicates structural issues beneath the surface.

4. Daylight through attic boards – If light can get through, so can water.

5. Stains on interior ceilings or walls – A red flag for leaks.

6. Moss or algae growth – This traps moisture and damages shingles.

7. Increased energy bills – Poor insulation from roofing issues.

8. Old age (20+ years) – Even the best roofs don’t last forever.

9. Damaged flashing or chimney seal – Could allow water infiltration.

10. Frequent repairs needed – When patch jobs become the norm, it's time.
