5 Signs You Need a Roof Replacement

February 3, 2026

Your roof protects everything you own. Over time, even the best-installed roofs reach the end of their lifespan. Here are five signs that it may be time for a full roof replacement.

1. Your Roof Is Over 20 Years Old

Most asphalt shingle roofs last between 20 and 30 years. If your roof is approaching or past this age, it's time to have a professional assessment. Mr. Roofer provides thorough inspections to help you understand the condition of your roof.

2. Widespread Shingle Damage

A few missing shingles can happen after any storm. But when you see widespread curling, buckling, or granule loss across large sections, patching won't solve the underlying problem. A full replacement is the most cost-effective long-term solution.

3. Sagging Roof Deck

A sagging roofline is a serious structural issue. This typically means the decking underneath has been compromised by moisture. Don't wait on this one — contact a roofing professional immediately.

4. Daylight Through the Roof Boards

If you can see light coming through your attic, water can get in too. This is a clear indication that the roof has deteriorated beyond the point of simple repairs.

5. Recurring Leaks

If you've had multiple leaks repaired in different areas, your roof is telling you something. Repeated leaks often mean the entire roofing system needs replacement.
