7 Signs You Might Need a New Roof (and How to Catch Problems Before a Storm Hits)

Your roof might not be something you think about every day—but it should be, especially here in Florida where sun, storms, and hurricanes can wear it down fast. The earlier you catch a roofing issue, the easier (and cheaper) it is to fix.


7 signs you need a new roof

Here are 7 clear warning signs that your roof might need repair—or even full new roof replacement.


1. Sagging on the Roof

If your roof is visibly sagging, that’s more than just a cosmetic issue. It could indicate damage to the roof deck or the structural supports underneath. This is one of the most urgent signs to address, as it may point to compromised integrity.



2. Excessive Granule Loss

Asphalt shingles are coated with protective granules that help reflect UV rays and guard against weather damage. If you're finding granules in your gutters or notice bare spots on the shingles, it's a sign your roof is aging and losing its protection.



3. Missing, Torn, or Curling Shingles

Shingles that are cracked, curling, or completely missing are no longer able to shield your home. This damage could be due to age, improper installation, or high winds—and all of it leaves your roof vulnerable to leaks.



4. Holes or Cracks in Shingles

Even small holes or cracks caused by hail or falling debris can allow water into your home. Over time, these tiny openings can lead to mold, rot, and costly water damage.



5. Buckling or Tears Around Roof Flashing

Flashing protects the most leak-prone areas of your roof—around chimneys, vents, and valleys. If it’s buckled or torn, water can slip right through. Damaged flashing is a leading cause of roof leaks and should be fixed ASAP.



6. Stains or Decay on Soffit and Fascia

The soffit and fascia are the boards beneath the edge of your roof. If these areas show signs of water damage or rot, it's often because your roof isn't properly directing water away. This could be due to poor drainage or hidden damage above.



7. Attic Leaks or Water Stains on Interior Walls and Ceilings

If you’re seeing brown spots on ceilings or walls—or worse, feeling actual drips—your roof is no longer doing its job. Whether it’s a flashing issue, failing shingles, or compromised underlayment, leaks are a sure sign you need a professional inspection.
