A roof doesn’t fail overnight. In most cases, it gradually shows signs of wear that homeowners may not notice until problems become significant. Understanding these early warning indicators can help prevent structural damage and expensive repairs later on.
Common signs include curling or missing shingles, granule loss in gutters, dark or uneven patches, and water stains inside the home. Age is another factor, as most asphalt roofs in Michigan last between 17 and 23 years depending on ventilation and installation quality.
Inspecting transition areas such as chimneys, vents, and skylights is especially important, as many leaks originate in these spots. Homeowners who monitor these issues early can plan replacements on their schedule instead of reacting to costly emergencies.
