Signs A Roof is Bad

Replacing your roof is not a flashy home improvement project so most people delay it too long. Sometimes that means they'll sustain serious damage to the interior of their home.  Expensive roof repairs might include:

• wood rot replacement,
• plaster and drywall repair
• painting
• mold removal
• insulation replacement
• and electric damage repair

Here's a list of signs to look for when determining if your roof is bad and needs repair/replacement.

Stains on Interior Ceilings & Walls Possible Cause: Inadequate or faulty shingle underlayment allowing leakage, or inadequate ventilation.
Missing, Cracked or Curling Shingles Possible Cause: Low grade shingles or shingles that have exceeded their expected life.
Roof Shingle Deterioration, Cracking, and Cupping Possible Cause: Built up heat due to poor attic ventilation.
Peeling, Bubbling, or Blistering Exterior Paint Possible Causes:  Poor attic ventilation trapping moisture in the house.
Dark, "Dirty-Looking" Areas on Your Roof Possible causes: Environmental pollutants; lichen, algae, fungus or other environmental growth; loss of granules because of low quality shingles or shingles that have exceeded their expected life.
