Your roof is one of the most important parts of your home, but it’s often overlooked until something goes wrong. Knowing when it’s time for a replacement can save you from more costly repairs down the line. Here are five common signs that it might be time to consider a full re-roof.

If you're dealing with repeated leaks, water stains, or damp patches on ceilings and walls, your roof may be beyond simple repairs. These issues often indicate failing underlay or widespread tile damage that only a full replacement can solve.

A few loose tiles might not be a big deal, but if they’re widespread or keep coming back, your roof may no longer be secure. Cracked or missing tiles can leave your home vulnerable to leaks and structural issues if left unchecked.

A sagging roof is a clear sign that something’s wrong—possibly with the internal structure or support. This is often a more serious issue that requires professional assessment and likely a full re-roof to restore safety and integrity.

Most roofs have a lifespan of 20–30 years depending on the materials used. If your roof is approaching or has passed that age, it may be more cost-effective to replace it than keep patching small issues. An upgrade can also improve insulation and energy efficiency.

Constant callouts for repairs or recurring problems are often a sign your roof is near the end of its lifespan. A new roof can save you money in the long run and give you peace of mind that your home is fully protected.
