1. Your roof is between 8 - 12 years old - The average life span in Ontario is typically 8 - 12 years despite many shingles having 25+ year warranty. Improper installation and our weather conditions in Ontario are one of the contributing factors to the end of life of your roof. An annual inspection should be performed after 8 years to make sure that there is no leaking or damage to the interior of the roof. 2. Curling shingles - Shingles can curl in two ways: There's cupping, which happens when the edges of the shingles turn upward; and there's clawing, which is when the edges stay flat and the middle starts to come up. It could mean the shingles are past their life expectancy. There could also be a possibility that the roof is defective. Both are warning signs of problems with your roof and should be inspected and/or addressed. 3. Missing shingles - Shingles may blow off due to inferior roofing product or improper installation. In some cases, the asphalt shingle become very brittle and a strong enough wind may result in the loss of some shingles. Unaddressed, leaking may occur. A repair may be a temporary solution however it is important to have a professional inspect your roof to prevent future damage or issues. 4. Cracked shingles - "Thermal splitting," or "cracking" which in fact is in most cases actually a tearing of the shingles is considered by experts to be the principal current problem with fiberglass-based shingles. This is mostly due to expansion and contraction due to temperature differences of the seasons in conjunction with inferior roofing material. Horizontal cracks indicate substrate issues that will need to be addressed. 5. Granules in the eaves trough - Look in your eaves trough (gutters) to see whether they are loaded up with shingle granules. Roofs tend to lose more granules toward the end of their life cycle. Inconsistent or darker color on some parts of the roof is another sign the granules have worn away. 6. Moss - Moss can grow on roof surfaces that don’t get much sunlight especially in cool, moist climates. Moss growth can be more than a cosmetic issue. Moss holds moisture against the roof surface and overtime in freezing climates can cause damage to the granules on the top of the shingles. 7. Light through the roof boards - You notice a spongy feel or trampoline bounce when walking on the roof, which means the underlying decking is weakened from moisture. Check your attic to see if there is any daylight coming through the roof boards. Also check for moisture in the insulation. 8. Sagging roof - Often means water absorption has caused the wood to weaken and sag. A good sign of improper ventilation and/or roof failure. 9. Your Neighbours are getting their roof done - Typically speaking, most houses in a subdivision were built at the same time. Often times your neighbour may have caught an issue with his or her roof and yours may be next as the same installers and material were used on your house.
