20 May When Is It Time to Replace Your Roof
Your roof does a lot more than just keep the rain out — it protects your entire home. But like anything else, roofs don’t last forever. As a local, firefighter-owned roofing company here in Broken Arrow, we often get asked the same question: “How do I know if I need a new roof?”
Let’s break it down.
1. Your Roof is Over 15-20 Years Old
Most Oklahoma homes have asphalt shingle roofs, and while they’re durable, they usually last between 15 to 25 years. If your roof is pushing that age and hasn’t had a recent inspection, it’s time to call a trusted roofing company near you (hey, that’s us!).
2. Shingles are Cracking, Curling, or Missing
Take a look at your roof from the ground. If you see shingles that are curling up, cracked, or missing entirely, those are signs of age and damage. Over time, missing or damaged shingles can lead to leaks, mold, and costly interior repairs.
3. You Notice Granules in Your Gutters
As shingles age, they start shedding tiny sand-like granules. If you’re seeing those in your gutters or on the ground near your downspouts, it means your shingles are breaking down and not offering the protection they once did.
4. Leaks or Water Stains in Your Attic or Ceiling
Water spots on the ceiling or attic insulation that’s damp? That’s a big red flag. Even small leaks can cause serious damage over time — including mold and wood rot. The earlier it’s caught, the better.
5. Storm Damage
Here in Oklahoma, we get our fair share of hail, wind, and severe storms. Even if you don’t see obvious damage, storms can cause hidden issues that only a trained roofer will catch. That’s why we always recommend a free roof inspection after a major storm.
