How to Know If You Need a Roof Replacement: Here is How to Know for Sure

Here in Dover and Southern Maine, we see all kinds of roof issues - especially after a long winter or wet spring. If you’ve noticed some changes up top, you’re probably wondering whether it’s time for a full roof replacement. Let’s walk through the key signs together and show you how we can help.

1. Five Clear Signs You Need a Full Roof Replacement

  1. Your Roof Is 20+ Years Old
    Most asphalt shingles last about two decades. If your roof is reaching that age, it’s time for replacement.

  2. Curling, Cracked, or Missing Shingles Everywhere
    A few bad shingles? That’s a small repair. But widespread curling, cracking, or missing pieces means it’s time to replace the whole system.

  3. Multiple Leak Spots Inside
    One drip might be a quick fix. But several? That points to a roof at the end of its life.

  4. Daylight Peeking Through Your Attic
    Any hint of light means your underlayment or decking has worn through, and where light gets in, water follows.

  5. Soft or Sagging Deck Boards
    Take a gentle walk in the attic - if it feels springy, the deck below needs a fresh start.
