When a building’s roof degrades, the property suffers further structural damage. To avoid spending a lot of money and causing more damage, you should have your roof checked as soon as you notice any wear signs. However, replacing your roof is a big job that requires the services of professionals with the necessary tools and experience. To start, they will inspect the roof and identify all of its flaws before recommending a course of action.
Signs that You Need Roof Replacement
Your house wouldn’t be complete without a roof. Keeping your home protected from the elements is essential because it provides shelter for your family. However, because this structure is exposed to the elements, it will degrade in due course. Even with the finest roofing materials, there will be some wear and tear over time.
It’s easy to extend the life of your business and residential property’s roof by following a few basic maintenance procedures. However, even if that occurs, you won’t necessarily require a complete roof replacement. Contact the experts at Big Bear Roofing.

What are the Hidden Costs of Deferring Roof Replacement?
There are certain hidden costs of putting off roof replacement that you might want to consider before deciding whether a roof replacement is a suitable option for you. Here we look at some of what these hidden costs are:
1. Recurring Roof Repairs
There are times when property owners second-guess their decision to replace their roof. Sometimes, this doubt can arise because they are strapped for time or because a replacement seems costly at that point. However, specific roofing issues only worsen over time, and repairs may only be a temporary solution. For example, old shingles can warp, crack or even break away from the structure.
Although replacing just the damaged shingles may seem like the best solution, if the roof is very old, you may find yourself dealing with the same issue too many times annually. Frequent repairs can quickly burn a hole in your pocket. In addition, dealing with constant repair work can also be a hassle. In this situation, a complete roof replacement can be the smarter option.
2. Damaged Attic Insulation
The structural stability of your roof is critical to the safety of your home, and you must properly maintain the entire system to keep the roof in top shape at all times. So, make sure that your entire roof is in excellent condition, from the waterproofing to the insulation. Insulation problems can arise if you don’t take steps to prevent them and maintain the structure’s integrity.
Although you will not have to replace the entire insulation every time you replace your roof, you must check it for mold buildup and other vulnerabilities. Timely roof replacement will help ensure that you do not have to fork out additional money for roof insulation replacement.
3. Plywood Rot Issues
When there is a leak in the roof, you must act quickly. Roof leaks never go away or improve on their own. Even if the leakage isn’t too bad, now is the time to fix it. Homeowners frequently observe a stain or some bubbling on their ceiling but dismiss it as nothing serious. Avoiding or ignoring a leaking roof will not fix the problem. Most of the time, the damage has already been done to your home by the time you realize it exists. The National Roofing Contractors guidelines recommend you get roofing inspections done in fall and spring. To avoid costly and time-consuming repairs, keep an eye out for these warning signs:
On the Inside:
- Dark spots on walls and ceilings
- Sagging
- Areas where light from outside shines through
On the Outside:
- Broken or blistered shingles or missing, warped, rotted, or buckling shingles
- Inefficient gutter/downspout drainage due to clogging or obstruction
- The presence of saggy or worn-out material around the chimney or vents
