Signs You Need a New Roof

Wondering if it’s time to replace your roof? There are a few signs to look out for that can indicate if it’s time for a new one. Whether it’s leaks that won’t quit, tiles that are breaking or slipping out of place, or simply an old roof that’s past its prime, these issues can signal that it’s time for a replacement. Here we’ll break down some of the most common reasons why a roof needs to be replaced in Florida, so you can decide if it’s time for an upgrade.

If you’re dealing with frequent leaks, it’s usually a sign that your roof wasn’t installed properly or that it’s simply worn out. The first things to go are often the flashing or waterproofing materials, which can start to fail over time. When these problems keep popping up, it means your roof is quickly deteriorating, and the most cost-effective solution is likely to replace the entire roof.

In Florida, insurance companies often require you to replace your roof around the 20-year mark to keep your coverage. So, it’s pretty common for homeowners to need a roof replacement around that time. However, you do have options—getting a roof certificate from Matthews Roofing can help delay that requirement with your insurance company, giving you more time before you need a full replacement.

As your roof gets older, you’ll start noticing issues like failing flashing, brittle tiles, shingles blowing off, panels and tiles shifting, and seams coming apart. These are all signs that it’s time to think about a replacement. The age of your roof is a big factor when it comes to needing a replacement. Even though some roofing materials can last up to 50 years with proper maintenance, insurance companies might consider your roof “expired” around the 20-year mark. Plus, with the constant beating from South Florida’s harsh weather, your roof can wear out faster. It’s best to have a thorough inspection to know for sure what the best course of action is for your home.

If you notice waviness in your roof decking, it’s usually a sign that something’s wrong—either a significant leak, failing flashing, or overall roof damage. This waviness can happen when the roof decking gets compromised, becomes soft, and starts to buckle under the weight of the roof. It can also be caused by a leak that has rotted the wood. Poor ventilation, excessive leaks, or shoddy workmanship can all lead to a wavy roof, which often means it’s time for a replacement.

Poor workmanship often results in leaks and other problems throughout your roof. If you’ve noticed multiple leaks over a year or two, it’s likely due to subpar installation. The flashing and other details are crucial parts of the roof installation, requiring real expertise. When leaks keep happening, the cost of repairs can add up quickly. At that point, it might make more sense to replace the roof entirely with a certified, licensed roofer who has a solid reputation, ensuring it’s done right the first time.

Ponding water on your roof doesn’t always mean you need a new one, but it can signal other issues that, if left unchecked, could lead to a replacement. A little water can sit on your roof for up to 48 hours without a problem. But if it lingers longer, it can start to break down the roofing material, wear out the seams, void warranties, and eventually cause leaks. So, it’s something you’ll want to address before it turns into a bigger issue.

Common Questions About Roof Replacement

How much does a roof replacement cost?

The cost of replacing your roof depends on a few factors: the material, the size of the roof, and how tricky it is to access. For example, a roof with lots of valleys, ridges, and flashing will take more time and materials, making it more expensive. On the other hand, a simple roof with fewer features will cost less. It’s tough to give an exact price without checking out the roof first, but you can generally expect to invest anywhere from $5 to $15 per square foot, depending on those specifics.

Can I install a roof over my existing roof?

In some cases, we can do a reroof, but it really depends on the condition of the existing materials, the type of roof, and local building codes. However, we usually don’t recommend it. The reason we rarely recommend this is that roofing manufacturers typically won’t offer the same warranty on a reroof. Plus, when you just layer over an old roof without checking the decking and other components, you risk bigger problems down the road.

How long does a new roof last?

Depending on the material and how well it’s installed, a roof can easily last between 20 and 50 years. However, insurance companies might push you to replace it around the 20-year mark. One of the perks of working with Matthews Roofing is that we can provide a roof certification, which can extend the roof’s life in the eyes of your insurance company, giving you more time before you need to replace it.
