5 Signs Your Roof Needs Immediate Replacement

Your roof isn’t something you check every day — but ignoring early warning signs can lead to major structural damage and costly repairs. Here are the top five indicators that it’s time to consider a full roof replacement:

1. Curling or Missing Shingles
If you notice shingles starting to curl, crack, or fall off entirely, your roof is past its prime. Maryland’s fluctuating climate accelerates shingle wear.

2. Frequent Leaks or Water Stains
Water stains on your ceilings or in your attic after rain? That’s a red flag your roof is failing to protect your home.

3. Moss or Algae Growth
Not just cosmetic—moss retains moisture and accelerates rot beneath the surface.

4. Sagging Rooflines
If your roofline appears to dip or buckle, it could signal serious internal damage from moisture or structural failure.

5. It’s Over 20 Years Old
Even with good maintenance, most asphalt shingle roofs max out around 20–25 years.
