How to Identify A Failing Roof
As any roofing contractor will tell you, the first step of any new project is working with the homeowner to determine whether the roof needs to be replaced or whether roof repairs will be sufficient. Roof repairs are the more economical option and in many cases, repairs will resolve common issues such as minor leaks and peeling. Roof repairs can also be completed much more quickly than total roof replacements. At RemodelMe, we’ve completed roof repair work in a single day, whereas a moderately-sized professional roof installation might require 3-4 days of work.
Unfortunately, by the time most homeowners begin thinking about roof repairs, it’s often too late to avoid professional intervention. Problems that necessitate roof repairs can develop well before water stains appear on the ceiling. However, if you’re not sure whether it’s time to look for roof repair services, here are three steps you can take:
- Use binoculars to examine the roof from the ground. Climbing to the roof poses an unnecessary fall risk, and you can spot many major roofing problems with binoculars alone. Look for any shingles that are curling, cracked or out of place. If you see unexplained smooth, dark areas it can indicate that the protective granules have worn off. If you notice any of these warning signs, it’s worth scheduling a free roof repair consultation with RemodelMe.
- Take a trip to the attic. Once you’re in the attic, examine the ceiling for any signs of moisture or water staining. It can also be helpful to probe the walls and ceilings with your fingers to check for soft, moist spots that have not formed stains yet. If you find moist spots, make a note of their location and size in case they have worsened by the time we arrive.
- Determine the age of your roof. Many of us are guilty of ignoring expiration dates and suggested replacement schedules. We don’t replace our mattresses every 8 years, and we may forget to change the water filter regularly. However, when it comes to your roof, it’s best not to ignore the suggested replacement time. If your roof is more than 20 years old, it is significantly more likely to fail.

According to the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics, roofing is considered among the top 20 deadliest jobs in America. Every year, approximately 40 roofers out of every 100,000 will lose their lives due to unsafe roof repair conditions. These statistics are important to consider before attempting any DIY roof repair. Although there are some small jobs that homeowners can easily tackle, remember that even experienced roofing professionals can have fatal accidents.
At RemodelMe, we take safety very seriously. When we take on a new project, you can rest assured that we will follow all OSHA regulations for the roofing industry.
