  1. Know when to Have a New Roof for your House The first move when most homeowner spot a leak in their ceiling is to call a roofer to come out, take a look, and get the problem fixed, but sometimes as just by replacing a worn out shingle is not the causes to these leaks, and sometimes for much bigger problem they can be an indicator. From a number of different causes leaks in your roof can spring up. Some of the warning signs have been shortlisted by the roofing contractors of Oklahoma that will let you know your roof is overdue for a replacement. Age of the roof To know whether or not it’s time for a new roof the first determining factor is by taking a look and seeing how old your current roof is. Depending on how well the roof has been cared for decides the life span of the roof as the average lifespan of a typical roof is between 20 and 25 years according to the experts. One factor that can decrease the lifespan of the roof even further is its poor ventilation and if your roof was installed over a previous layer of roofing. Curling or buckled Shingles A sign that you are in need of a new roof is if the shingles on your roof are beginning to buckle and curl up. If you take a look, the most often sign of a roof that they are beyond their life expectancy is by looking at the shingles on the slopes of your roof that most often subjected to direct sunlight, and notice that they are starting to curl up, crack, or lose granules. There is also the possibility that your roof is defective as a whole when you notice this kind of damage. To determine which of these two possibilities is true and see if you might be eligible for reimbursement of some kind it is always wise to contact a professional Oklahoma Roofing contractor. Shingle Granules in Your Gutters

  2. Whether your gutters aren’t full of shingle granules is an important aspect to check. Shingles tend to lose more of these when they reach the end of their lifespan, which on certain parts of your roof can lead to an inconsistent darker color or granules in your gutters, indicating that they have been worn away. An indicator that the underlying decking has been weakened from moisture is when you are walking on your roof and it feels spongy or almost like a trampoline. If there is any daylight coming through the boards and for moisture in the insulation always check in your attic. Whether the integrity of your roof has been compromised or not can be determined by both these indicators. Roof Valleys It is a definite sign that you are overdue for a new roof if the shingles on your roof are falling apart or missing altogether in this particular area. On your entire roof the valley is one of the most important areas as it is essential to making sure that without pooling snow and rain flow through them and into your gutters.
