How to Know When You Need a New Roof?

No roof lasts forever. A time would come in every homeowner's life when the roof of their home would need replacement.

 •The longevity of the roof depends on the type of material it is made from. •Durability is influenced by the location of the shingles. (Sun exposure shortens the lifespan of a roof, therefore, shingles facing north can last longer than those facing south.)•Watch out for the signs such as torn shingles, buckling, sagging, discoloration, termite inspection, and rotting shingles.
