Don\u2019t wait until you have water or rodent damage in your home before replacing the roof. Here are four indications that it\u2019s time to call a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.centuryrooftile.com\/faqs.html\">roofing contractor<\/a>.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>Age.<\/strong> Shingles don\u2019t last forever, and any roof over 20 years old should be replaced. If you\u2019re unsure how old your roof is, watch what your neighbors do. When homes are built at the same time, their roofs usually need to be replaced at the same time as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wear.<\/strong> When shingles are cracked or curled, have lost their granules, or are missing, it\u2019s time to replace the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.centuryroofandsolar.com\/project-gallery\/roofing\/\">roofing<\/a> surface. This need may arise earlier than you anticipate, because inadequate ventilation and extreme weather conditions can prematurely damage your roof.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Roof Valley Damage.<\/strong> Can you spot missing or damaged shingles in this area? If so, you have a clear sign that the roof needs to be replaced. Roof valleys direct rainwater and snow runoff into your gutter system. Problems here will result in internal water damage to the home.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Old Chimney Flashing.<\/strong> Many older home constructions used tar or roof cement for flashing. If you have this, it\u2019s time to replace it with metal flashing, which provides a water-tight fitting. Old-style flashing may also indicate the need for a new roof.<\/p>\n<h2>Roofing Inspections\u00a0by\u00a0Outstanding Local Roofing Contractor<\/h2>\n<p>Century Roof and Solar are Bay Area <a href=\"http:\/\/www.centuryrooftile.com\/roofproducts.html\">residential roofing<\/a> experts.
