When Should You Reroof Your Home?
Spring is a good time to inspect your roof. Winter damage is fresh and often easier to access, and should extensive work be necessary, the summer months ahead provide plenty of good, dry weather. Start your inspection with a visual check from outside. Look for obvious damage first -- missing shingles, cracked tiles, warped or gapping wood shakes. Follow the roof line with your eyes, It should be perfectly horizontal. If it has a noticeable sag, you may have a structural problem created by a prolonged roof leak.
With asphalt roofs, look for thin, weather-worn shingles. If the shingles are brittle, they may have lost their protective inner oils, and refoofing may be required. If the roof only has a few bad spots, you may consider repairing the damaged areas rather than having a new roof installed.
Traditional wooden shakes and shingles can warp, split, thin in the sun and rain, and be torn off by high winds, leaving the roof structure exposed to the elements. If only a few spots need work, a simple repair may be in order. If the wood is dry, extensively cracked or warped, reroofing may be necessary.
Roof damage is not always obvious from the outside. A comprehensive inspection also includes a trip to the attic or crawl-space. Look for dark water stains in rafters, sheathing, and insulation. With wooden roofs, you may notice light passing into the attic. Pin-holes are normal, as water normally swells the roof and closes the gaps.
