Some types of roofing issues can be handled with repair, but others can only be solved with complete roof replacement. Here are some signs that indicate you will soon need a new roof and you should start preparing for the investment:

• Your roof’s age – your roof is warranted for a specific amount of time, depending on the material it is made from. Asphalt shingle roofs, for example, can last for around 25 years, metal roofs can live for up to four decades, while clay tiles can stay on your building for up to a century. If the material on your roof is approaching the end of its lifespan, you should start saving money for the new roof;
• Frequent leaks – if you hardly fix one leak when the next one appears somewhere else on the surface, it is a sign that your roof is weakened and needs to go;
• Excessive ice damming – icicles appear when heat is leaking through the roof and they usually indicate that your roof has lost its energy-efficiency;
• Sagging – this issue is caused by the weakening of the roof’s support structure and it threatens collapse. The best way to solve it is through complete roof replacement by a professional Aurora roofing contractor.
