Your roof is one of the most important components of your home. It protects everything underneath it—your family, your belongings, and your peace of mind. But like everything else, roofs don’t last forever. At All Pro Roofing, we’ve seen how small roofing issues can turn into big, expensive problems when left unchecked.
To help homeowners stay ahead of costly repairs, we’ve put together this guide on the top 5 signs you may need a new roof. If you spot any of these, don’t wait—schedule an inspection with our team right away.
1. Damaged, Curling, or Missing Shingles
Take a walk around your home and look up at your roof. Are there shingles that are cracked, curling, or completely missing? That’s a major red flag.
Shingles are your first line of defense against rain, wind, and snow. When they start breaking down, your roof is vulnerable to leaks and water damage. Even a few missing shingles can lead to bigger issues if left untreated.
🔍 Tip: After a storm, check your yard and gutters for shingle debris. If you’re finding pieces, your roof might be shedding due to age or storm damage.
2. Water Stains or Leaks Inside Your Home
If you’re seeing water stains on your ceiling or walls—or worse, dripping during rainfall—it’s a clear sign your roof is compromised.
Leaks often start small and grow over time. You might not notice them until water starts making its way inside your home. Unfortunately, by the time you spot indoor stains, water could’ve already damaged your attic insulation, drywall, or even your home’s structure.
💧 What to do: Head to your attic after a heavy rain. Look for damp insulation or beams. If you see or smell moisture, it’s time to call All Pro Roofing.
3. A Sagging Roofline
This one is a big deal. A sagging roof is often a sign of structural damage—usually from long-term water exposure, poor installation, or rotting materials.
You might notice your roofline dipping or bowing inward. This is not something to ignore. A sagging roof means your home could be at risk of further damage or even partial collapse in extreme cases.
🚨 Act fast: Call a roofing professional immediately. A sagging roof won’t fix itself—and the longer you wait, the more dangerous (and costly) it becomes.
4. Your Roof is 20+ Years Old
Most asphalt shingle roofs are built to last 20–25 years. Even if your roof looks okay from the ground, it may be silently aging. Over time, sun exposure, heavy rains, and wind wear down roofing materials—even if there aren’t visible signs.
If your roof is more than two decades old and hasn’t been inspected recently, it’s time for a check-up.
🛠️ All Pro Roofing offers free inspections to give you peace of mind. Whether your roof has 5 years left or needs immediate replacement, we’ll give you an honest answer.
5. Granules in Your Gutters
Shingles are coated with granules to protect them from the sun and weather. As shingles age, they start shedding those granules—and they often end up in your gutters.
If you’re cleaning out your gutters and finding dark, sand-like granules, it means your shingles are breaking down. Without granules, shingles can’t reflect UV rays, leading to faster deterioration and increased heat inside your home.
🧹 Pro Tip: Make it a habit to check your gutters every few months. It’s an easy way to catch signs of roof aging early.
