We’ve worked on roofs in the Colorado Springs area for years, so we know firsthand how tough our weather can be on your home. It’s especially true when it comes to heavy snow and ice in the winter, where your roof is the first line of defense. If your roof is showing signs of wear, now is the time to take action before the cold sets in.
Here are some warning signs that could indicate it’s time to replace your roof.
1. Shingles Are Missing or Damaged
High winds, hail, and UV exposure can loosen or crack shingles. If you notice bald spots, curling, or broken shingles, your roof is vulnerable to leaks once the snow arrives.
2. Leaks or Water Stains Indoors
Water stains on ceilings or walls often indicate roof damage that’s gone unnoticed. With winter snow, even small leaks can worsen quickly and lead to major interior damage.
3. Granules in the Gutters
Granules protect asphalt shingles from sun damage. If you’re finding piles of granules in your gutters, your roof may no longer be protecting your home from Colorado’s intense sun and changing weather.
4. Sagging or Uneven Rooflines
A roof should look straight and sturdy. If you see sagging or dips, it may be a sign of structural issues. Heavy snow can add dangerous weight to a compromised roof.
5. Frequent or Costly Repairs
If you’re calling for repairs more often, it might be more cost-effective to replace the roof entirely rather than continue patching weak spots.
6. Age of Your Roof
In Colorado Springs, roofs endure more wear and tear than in milder climates. If your roof is over 15–20 years old, it could be nearing the end of its lifespan and might at least be in need of some care.
7. Your Roof Is No Longer Up to Code
Local roofing codes have changed, and if your roof is over three years old, it may not meet today’s standards. That means your home may not be as protected as it should be.
