Signs You Need A Roof Replacement

Table of Contents

Age & repeated leaks

When 20–30-year shingles near end-of-life—or leaks keep returning after patch jobs—a roof replacement delivers better long-term value than piecemeal fixes. A full system lets us correct hidden issues (decking, flashing, ventilation) and resets the warranty clock.

Widespread shingle wear

Curling tabs, bald spots, and heavy granules in gutters mean the surface is breaking down and water can reach the underlayment. At this stage, spot repairs rarely last; a new system restores reliable, uniform protection.

Decking & ventilation issues

Soft or sagging areas indicate moisture-damaged decking that must be replaced for a solid nailing base. We pair deck repairs with balanced intake/exhaust ventilation to reduce attic heat/condensation and extend roof life.

Our Roof Replacement Process

Inspect & propose: Same-week inspection, photos, and a line-item estimate with materials, ventilation, and timeline.
Tear-off & deck repair: Full removal to the decking; replace compromised plywood for a solid foundation.
System install: Ice/water shield in valleys/eaves, synthetic underlayment, drip edge, flashing rebuilds, proper intake/exhaust ventilation, then shingles/metal to manufacturer specs.
Clean & verify: Magnet rolling, debris haul-away, photo report, and warranty documents.

Quality Roofing Materials & Upgrades

Architectural shingles
Dimensional shingles offer strong wind ratings, algae resistance, and a wide color range that satisfies most HOAs. Installed as a full system, they deliver attractive curb appeal with solid manufacturer warranties.
Metal options
Standing seam or metal shingles provide coastal-grade durability, energy efficiency, and excellent wind performance. We specify corrosion-resistant fasteners and trims so the system stays tight in Lowcountry weather.
Underlayments & flashings
Ice/water shield protects valleys, eaves, and penetrations; synthetic underlayment adds a stable, tear-resistant secondary barrier. New step/counter-flashing and pipe boots stop common leak points for the long haul.
Ventilation package
Balanced soffit intake and ridge exhaust lower attic temperatures, reduce moisture, and protect the deck. Proper airflow also supports shingle performance and keeps manufacturer warranties valid.

How To Prepare For Roof Replacement

Remove wall décor
Vibrations during tear-off can shift or knock down frames and mirrors. Take them down and store safely until work is complete.
Relocate vehicles
Clear the driveway/garage so crews can stage materials and the dumpster without risk of damage. It speeds setup and daily cleanup.
Secure windows & attic items
Close blinds/shades and expect some dust in the attic during tear-off. Cover belongings with sheets or plastic for easy post-job cleanup.
Plan for kids & pets
Roofing is noisy and the site has hazards—set indoor “safe zones” or arrange off-site care during working hours. Let the crew know about pets so gates and access stay secured.
Yard ready
Mow the lawn and move patio furniture, grills, toys, and planters to open pathways for ladders and debris removal. Short grass also helps magnets pick up stray nails.
Antennas/satellite
Schedule removal ahead of time or ask if we can disconnect/reinstall during the project. Coordinating this avoids delays and protects equipment.
Neighbor heads-up
Give neighbors your project dates so they can plan parking and pet routines around the noise. A quick courtesy note keeps everyone happy.

Flexible Financing & Insurance

Roof Financing
Make your roof project easier to afford with monthly payment options that won’t slow down your schedule. Apply online in minutes, compare clear plans, and choose what fits.
Insurance Claims
When wind or hail causes damage, we stabilize first (tarp/temporary dry-in), then document everything with photos, measurements, and an itemized scope to support your claim. We coordinate with your adjuster and complete the approved work to code and manufacturer specs

Frequently Asked Questions

When Is The Right Time To Replace Your Roof?

The right time to replace your roof is when you see the following:

Bucking and curling shingles

Bucking and curling shingles are a common problem in the wintertime. Bucked shingles occur when moisture is present on your roof, causing nails to push out of place and loosen their grip on the wood beneath them – making it easier for water to seep through cracks that develop over time. It compromises your performance as a protective shield against rainwater or snow runoff by providing space between layers where these liquids can accumulate, which results in leaks and added damage from exposure.

Mold in attic

Untreated mold deteriorates roofs by attacking them from within its toxic spores; this threat should never go unaddressed, even if it’s only on your home’s interior surfaces. When you find mold in the attic, it’s an indication your roof needs replacement.

Missing shingles

A few missing shingles are no cause for alarm, but if you spot a lot of them pulled up or gone altogether from one area on your roof, that could mean significant damage. The specific number doesn’t matter where the problems seem to be – most can patch up the top with new materials and avoid any leaks in certain areas by covering those holes quickly (like around valleys). But if you don’t treat these things as soon as possible, they will continue worsening due to exposure over time.

Algae growth

Algae is an irritating substance that can grow on your roof and shingles, making them more susceptible to damage from the elements. Algae growth typically occurs when heat waves have been long in duration or frequent storms with heavy rainfall. It makes cool roofs much less resistant than other colors because they reflect solar radiation into the atmosphere rather than absorbing it like darker colored tiles.

Will A New Roof Lower Energy Bills?

Yes, a new roof will lower energy bills. In fact, it not only lowers your heating bill but also helps create a healthy environment for those living in it – you’ll be able to enjoy increased comfort with improved ventilation. These sound insulation materials prevent excess drafts or water leaks from coming into their homes.

Is A New Roof A Worth Investment?

Yes, a new roof is worth the investment. It improves the curb appeal, increases the home value, and reduces energy bills.

Will Insurance Cover The Roof Replacement?

Homeowners’ insurance covers the roof damage costs. Not all insurance companies protect replacement, though, and in most cases, they will assess if it is essential to replace or not by looking at what caused the damages. Different policies have different stipulations, so make sure you check with your provider first before deciding whether to repair or replace your roof.
