There are many signs that point towards needing a new roof. Do you know what they are? As a homeowner your answer should be yes.

Above all else, are there any shingles missing? If so, you may be in need of a new roof. This is not always the case, but usually holds true. At the very least, you need to hire a roofing contractor to assess the situation.

Dark spots and trails often times point to a leaking roof or water damage. While this may only be effecting the outside of your home right now, soon enough the water may work its way to the inside. Is that what you want?

Are you noticing shingle granules in your gutter? Excessive amounts mean that your roof is wearing quickly, and will need to be replaced in the very near future.

These are a few signs that you need a new roof. Rather than continue to guess, now is the time to bring in a professional.
