Of all major home repairs, installing new roofing is arguably as important as it gets.

There are things we will look for to see if your roof might need work. Common signs of roof damage include:

Broken or loose roof tiles

Any broken or loose roof tiles will need to be fixed. They can also be a sign that there’s damage underneath the tiles. 

Cracks and punctures

Cracks and punctures can happen when debris falls on your roof. If something damages your roof, it can allow water to seep in and damage your home. Cracks and punctures can also result from people walking on your roof.

Standing water

Your roof is designed to shed water. If you see any standing water on your roof after a rainstorm, that’s evidence of potential underlying problems.

Structural damage

If something such as an earthquake causes the support structure for your roof to shift, that damage must be addressed right away! Structurally compromised roofs may result in a collapse.

Water stains on the ceiling

Probably the most common sign of roof problems is water stains on ceilings and walls. These stains are caused by leaks that, if left unrepaired, could result in mold problems. You should definitely have water stains checked out by a roofing company as soon as possible.

The age of your roof may not matter. Just because your roof is old doesn’t necessarily mean work is needed before you can go solar. Our installers are able to put solar systems on any roof that is structurally sound. The materials your roof is constructed of plays the main role in whether or not your roof’s age will be a factor or not. Many roofs in California use clay tiles, which can have a 50-year lifespan.

You should try to find out how old your roof is, and how long it is warrantied to last. If your roof is nearing the end of it’s predicted lifespan, we can help you  replace it whether you go solar or not. As a general rule of thumb, if your home is less than 30 years old, it probably still has its original roof.
