Keep the Roof Over Your Family's Head

Having a roof over your head is one of life’s most basic necessities, yet a surprising number of homeowners wait far too long to replace worn out or damaged roofs. A damaged roof can contribute to water leakage and mold growth, provide an entrance for wildlife such as bats, and more. Replacing moldy carpet and water-damaged drywall, and hiring an exterminator to remove unwanted pests can be expensive and time-consuming. Avoid home repair bills and putting your family at risk by learning how to identify when a roof needs to be replaced.

Depending on the material you choose, replacing a roof can be expensive; it’s an investment homeowners want to get the most out of. But in the case of roofs, it’s better to be proactive rather than reactive. Otherwise, you’re out the cost of the roof and the cost of repairing or replacing interior damage.

As a general rule, it’s a good idea to assess the condition of your roof at least twice per year—before and after winter, the hardest season for roofs. If you see any of the following signs, or have any concerns about the condition of your roof, please don’t hesitate to contact us for a free roof consultation. All-in-One Homes will provide a hassle-free, no cost assessment.

Things to Look for from the Interior

  • Sagging roof deck or ceilings
  • Dark or discolored spots
  • Visible sunlight
  • Signs of termites

Things to Look for from the Exterior

  •  Shingle granules in gutters
  • Moist, rotten, or moldy spots
  • Algae
  • Loose material around vents, pipes, and chimneys
  • Clogged downspouts and gutters

Depending on the age of your roof, you may not need to replace the entire thing—you might be able to repair the damaged portion. Just remember: be proactive rather than reactive. The only sure-fire way to know if your roof needs replacing is to have it inspected. We offer free roof consultations at All-in-One Homes, and pride ourselves in being honest and fair. If you’re worried about the condition of your roof, call us today at 1-540-589-7676 or drop us a line at [email protected].
