How to Know When It’s Time to Replace Your Roof

Your roof is one of the most important parts of your home—but unless there's a leak, most people don’t think twice about it. The truth is, a roof gives off plenty of signs when it’s ready for replacement… if you know what to look for.

At Koebel’s Roofing, we want to make those signs clear—so you can make confident, informed decisions before small issues turn into costly repairs.

Top Signs You May Need a New Roof

• Your shingles are curling, cracking, or missing
  When shingles start to lose their shape or disappear altogether, it compromises the entire roofing system.

• You’re seeing granules in your gutters
  Those tiny bits are protective shingle coatings. If you’re seeing them pile up in your eavestrough, your roof is wearing out.

• Leaks, stains, or water marks inside your home
  Even a small leak can lead to serious mold or structural damage. Don’t wait—have it assessed right away.

• Your roof is 15+ years old
  Most roofs have a lifespan of 15–20 years depending on material. If yours is aging, a replacement may be more cost- effective than patchwork repairs.

• You’re noticing sagging or soft spots
  A sagging roof deck is a major red flag and usually points to structural or moisture issues below the surface.

• You’ve had multiple repairs in recent years
  Frequent fixes could mean it’s time to start fresh with a solid, warrantied installation.

How Long Should a Roof Last?

The average asphalt shingle roof lasts between 15–25 years. Metal roofs and other premium materials can last longer. But factors like climate, ventilation, and previous installation quality all affect your roof’s real lifespan.
