Most people don’t think about their roof until there’s a leak. But by the time water is dripping from your ceiling or shingles are in your yard, the damage is already done.
As Rhode Island’s trusted roofing specialists, we at Liberty Roof Co. have helped hundreds of homeowners and property managers identify roofing issues early and avoid costly repairs down the line. If you’re unsure whether it’s time for a new roof, here are five clear signs it might be—and what steps to take next.
1. Your Roof Is 20+ Years Old
Age is one of the biggest indicators that your roof may need replacement. Most asphalt shingle roofs are designed to last 20 to 25 years. After that, even if you don’t see visible problems, the materials may be breaking down.
If your roof is approaching or has passed that 20-year mark, it’s time to schedule an inspection. Our team offers thorough assessments and honest recommendations for both minor repairs and full roof replacements.
2. You’re Seeing Visible Damage
Some signs of damage are easy to spot:
- Curling, cracking, or missing shingles
- Bald spots where granules have worn off
- Sagging rooflines or visible dips
- Dark streaks or moss growth
These can indicate serious structural or water-related issues. Liberty Roof Co. provides expert evaluations for residential, commercial, and condominium roofing systems.
3. Your Energy Bills Are Spiking
A failing roof can compromise your home’s energy efficiency. Damaged insulation or improper ventilation can let heated or cooled air escape, forcing your HVAC system to work overtime.
If you’ve noticed rising energy costs, your roof might be to blame. A new, properly sealed roofing system can help regulate indoor temperatures and improve efficiency year-round.
4. There Was a Major Storm
Storms are one of the leading causes of sudden roof damage. High winds, hail, ice dams, and falling debris can all compromise your roof’s integrity.
If your home or building was recently hit by a severe storm, schedule an immediate roof inspection. Our storm damage experts can identify issues quickly and help you navigate insurance claims, temporary tarping, and emergency repairs.
5. You’re Constantly Paying for Repairs
If you’re calling a roofer every year (or more often), it may be more cost-effective to replace the roof altogether. Multiple patch jobs add up—both in cost and inconvenience.
Rather than continuing to pay for band-aid solutions, consider investing in a full replacement that will last for decades. Liberty Roof Co. offers transparent quotes and long-term roofing solutions that give you peace of mind.
What to Do if You Spot These Signs
If any of the issues above sound familiar, don’t wait for the next leak or windstorm to force your hand. Here’s what to do next:
- Schedule a free inspection with our team.
- Receive a detailed condition report and honest advice.
- Review your replacement options and financing (if needed).
- Get professional installation backed by warranty.
