How do I know when my roof needs to be replaced?

It can be difficult for homeowners to know when to replace a roof, but Apex Restoration & Roofing is here to help you figure this out, right now.

Here’s how to tell if you need a new roof:

The Roof Is Old

Most asphalt shingles last around 12-15 years, while metal might last longer. If it’s been decades since you’ve replaced your roof, or your last repairs were done by overlaying, it might be time to install a new one.

Some Shingled Are Missing or Curled

Look at your roof and analyze the shingles. If any ‘pieces’ are missing, or if a lot of them are curling upward, this is a clear sign you need a new roof.

The Roof Is Leaking

If you go up into the attic and see the walls or ceiling are wet or discolored, the roof might have a leak that’s letting water go into your home.

It Has Ice Buildup

Ice dams form when your roof isn’t properly ventilated. The hot air melts the snow on the roof, leading to ice on the exterior of your home, and this added pressure can create lots of damage to your roof.

Damaged Flashing

If you notice rusted or missing flashing around your chimney or vent pipes, this could be a sign your roof is damaged and water is getting in.

Unwanted Pests in Your Home

Pest can enter your home through a damaged roof. If you’re noticing a lot more unwanted guests recently, the roof is a good first place to check.

Moss and Mold Growth

Moss and mold can grow when moisture builds up in your attic between your roof layers. Over time it can also cause extensive roof damage.

“Apex roofing is ahhh-mazing! If you’re looking for a professional, RESPONSIVE company….look no farther! I am a first time home owner up in a very small town in the Rockies. My roof was leaking during the major snowfalls and I was freaking out because it’s very hard to find roofers up here that you can trust to get the entire job done. I am BEYOND happy and thankful this honest company exists. You can’t go wrong. The communication is on point. Thank you Apex!!! Thank you Shawnee (sales manager), Adan, Nery, & team!” Elizabeth B

“APEX was great to work with on our new roof installation. They were quick, responsive, and professional during the whole process and I would highly recommend this company.” Jenna B.

19. February, 2021.

“So I had a pretty rough experience with another roofing company that replaced my roof as an insurance claim. After repeated attempts I threw in the towel and called Apex (on a reco from new Insurance provider) to do an inspection. Brooke did a wonderful job providing piece of mind during the inspection. Extremely considerate of the situation, the virus and just a really knowledgeable/kind human. I really wish I would have called my new insurance agent and received Apex recommendation as I’m sure I would have avoided the last 3 months of chaos with other roofing company. Highly Recommend Apex!”

“Everyone at Apex Roofing is top notch! They are super responsive, have reasonable, competitive costs, and know what they are doing. We had 3 large cupolas installed on our barn roof, plus a weathervane, and they did the entire job quickly and professionally. When we needed our weathervane adjusted, they came back immediately and made it exactly right. We can’t say enough good things about Apex. Its hard these days to find an honest, responsible and talented company and these folks are all of the above. You will love them. Thank you!” Julie M
