Reliable Roof Replacement Services for Williamson County Homes

Skilled Roof Installation for Williamson County Homes & Businesses

When you need a new roof, you can rely on the team of certified professionals at Raptor Roofing. Roof replacement can be expensive, and we understand that, as a home- or business owner you don’t want to replace your roof unless you absolutely must. That is why we are fair and honest with our inspections and estimates. We want you to trust us to provide you with an accurate and honest assessment of the state of your roof.

Roofs typically last 20 years before replacement is recommended, but in Texas where the weather can be unpredictable, wear and tear from storms and hurricane season can weaken your roof and require an earlier replacement. Our experienced roofers can evaluate the condition of your roof and determine whether your roof requires repairs or is due for a replacement.

Signs Your Roof Needs Replacement: What to Look For

Knowing when your roof needs to be replaced is essential to prevent further damage to your home. 

Here are some signs that can indicate it's time for a roof replacement:

• Age of the Roof: One of the most common reasons for roof replacement is the age of the roof. Most asphalt shingle roofs have a lifespan of 20 to 25 years, so if your roof is approaching or exceeding this age, it's a good idea to consider replacement.
• Missing or Damaged Shingles: If you notice missing, cracked, or curling shingles, it's a sign that your roof is deteriorating. Damaged shingles can expose your roof to water infiltration and further damage.
• Leaks and Water Damage: Interior water stains or evidence of water leaks in your attic or ceiling can indicate roof problems. These leaks often occur due to damaged or deteriorated roofing materials.
• Granule Loss: Asphalt shingles have protective granules that can wear away over time. If you find granules in your gutters or downspouts, it's a sign that your shingles are deteriorating.
• Algae or Moss Growth: The presence of algae, moss, or lichen on your roof can be a sign of moisture retention, which can accelerate the deterioration of roofing materials. It's important to address this issue promptly.
• Sagging or Deformation: A sagging roof is a serious problem and may indicate structural issues. If you notice any visible sagging or deformation in your roofline, it's crucial to consult a professional immediately.
• Increased Energy Bills: A deteriorating roof can lead to poor insulation and increased heating or cooling costs. If you notice a sudden spike in your energy bills, your roof may be to blame.
• Sunlight Through the Roof: If you can see daylight through your roof in the attic, it means there are gaps or holes in your roofing structure that need attention.
• Damaged Flashing: Damaged or deteriorated flashing around roof penetrations like chimneys, vents, and skylights can lead to leaks and should be repaired or replaced.
• Multiple Repairs: If you find yourself frequently needing roof repairs, it may be more cost-effective in the long run to invest in a roof replacement rather than continually patching up the old roof.
• Shingle Granules in the Gutters: Check your gutters for an accumulation of shingle granules. An excessive amount of granules can indicate that your shingles are nearing the end of their lifespan.
• Increased Noise: If you notice that your roof is becoming noisier during rain or hailstorms, it may be because the roofing materials have degraded, and the protective layer is thinning.

If you observe any of these signs, it's essential to consult a professional roofing contractor for a thorough inspection. 

They can assess the condition of your roof and provide recommendations, which may include repair or replacement, based on the extent of the damage and the age of the roof.
