Your roof is one of the hardest-working parts of your home — protecting you from the elements, improving energy efficiency, and adding curb appeal. But like anything else, it won’t last forever.

At Artisan Roofing Company, we believe in helping homeowners spot trouble early, before small issues turn into expensive damage. Here are five key signs it might be time to replace your roof:

1. Missing or Damaged Shingles
If you’ve noticed shingles that are cracked, curling, or missing altogether, it’s a clear sign your roof is aging. Damaged shingles allow water to seep into your home, putting your attic, insulation, and walls at risk.

2. Water Stains or Leaks
Brown spots on your ceiling or moisture in the attic are signs that water is getting past your roof’s defenses. Even minor leaks can lead to mold, mildew, and costly structural issues if left untreated.

3. Sagging Rooflines
A sagging roof is more than just an eyesore — it’s a serious structural warning sign. Often caused by trapped moisture or weakened supports, sagging usually means a full roof replacement is needed.

4. Your Roof Is Over 20 Years Old
Most asphalt shingle roofs are designed to last 20-25 years. If your roof is approaching that age (or if you’re unsure), a professional inspection can give you clarity on whether it’s time to plan for a replacement.

5. Granules in the Gutters
Excessive shingle granules washing into your gutters is a sign that your roof’s protective layer is wearing away. Without granules, your shingles can’t shield your home from the sun’s UV rays and rain.
