Your roof is one of the most important components of your home, protecting it from the elements and ensuring your family stays safe and comfortable. But how can you tell if your roof is in good condition? At Gerken Roofing, we believe that regular roof maintenance is essential in preventing costly repairs down the road. Here are three key things to know about the health of your roof.

1. Signs of Roof Damage
Over time, exposure to weather conditions can take a toll on your roof.
Look for these common signs of roof damage:
Missing or Curling Shingles – This can indicate aging or storm damage.
Leaks and Water Stains – Water intrusion can lead to mold, rot, and structural issues.
Sagging Areas – A sagging roof could mean serious underlying structural problems.
Granule Loss – If you notice shingle granules in your gutters, your roof may be deteriorating.

2. The Importance of Regular Roof Inspections
Scheduling routine roof inspections can help catch problems before they become major issues.
Professional roof inspections from Gerken Roofing can:
Identify potential leaks and weak spots.
Assess storm or weather-related damage.
Provide maintenance recommendations to extend your roof’s lifespan.

When It’s Time for a Roof Replacement
Even with proper maintenance, every roof has a lifespan.
Here are signs that it might be time for a replacement:
Your roof is over 20 years old.
Repairs are becoming more frequent and costly.
You notice excessive wear and tear.
