Granules in the gutters: Asphalt shingles losing granules signal wear.
Roof Leaks and Stains: Water stains on ceilings or walls are a clear sign of a leaking roof.
Sagging areas: If your roof is sagging, it could be a sign of compromised roof structure.
Light coming through the attic: If light is visible through your attic, it’s a sign of roof damage.

Increased Energy Bills: Poor insulation from roof damage affects efficiency.
Age of the roof: If your roof is over 20 years old, it may be time for a replacement.
