Extreme damage after a storm or from a fallen tree are obvious situations where a roof will need to be replaced. In the majority of cases, however, shingles simply reach the end of their lifespan and need to be upgraded to continue to protect the interior components of your home. Warning signs of the imminent need to replace a roof include cupped, cracked or bald shingles. If other homes in your area are also undergoing roofing replacements, this can be a sign that yours is also due for an upgrade. Although different roofing types have varying life expectancies, proper ventilation of your roof and maintenance of gutters impact the actual lifespan of shingles.

The following issues are signs that the shingles on your roof have reached the end of their lifespan and should be promptly replaced:

• The shingle tabs have a cupped appearance or the edges have curled;

• Numerous homes in your neighborhood have already undergone a roofing replacement that was not due to extreme storm or tree damage.
