Your roof is your home’s first line of defense against Colorado’s wild weather, from hailstorms to heavy snow and high UV exposure. But like any part of your home, it doesn’t last forever. Ignoring roof problems can lead to leaks, structural damage, and expensive repairs down the road.
At Mile High Renovation, we help homeowners across Denver and nearby areas spot the early warning signs. If you're wondering whether it's time for a roof replacement, here are five red flags you shouldn’t ignore.
Most asphalt shingle roofs last between 15 and 25 years. Metal, tile, or architectural shingles last longer, but even those have a lifespan.
What to look for:
If your roof is hitting that 20+ year mark, it's worth having a professional inspection, especially before the next big snowstorm or hail season hits.
Shingles that are cracked or curling at the edges are a sign that your roof is weathered and no longer protecting your home as it should. Missing shingles are even more urgent, leaving open paths for water to get in.
In Colorado, strong winds and hail can accelerate this kind of damage. After a major storm, it’s smart to inspect your roof (or call a professional) to check for any visible issues.
Water stains on ceilings or walls, mold in the attic, or the sound of dripping after it rains can all mean one thing: your roof is leaking.
Common causes:
Even small leaks can lead to serious damage over time, including rot, mold, and structural problems. Don’t wait on this one.
A sagging roofline can be a sign of:
This is a red alert situation. If your roof is sagging, it’s not just cosmetic, it’s a sign that your home could be at risk.
An old or damaged roof can let heat escape during winter and make your home hotter in summer. If your utility bills have been rising without any other changes, your roof may be to blame.
Modern roofing systems are designed to reflect sunlight and insulate your home. Replacing your roof can improve comfort and reduce energy costs, especially important in Colorado’s climate where summers are sunny and winters are cold.
If you’ve noticed one or more of these signs, it’s time to get your roof inspected by a local expert. A roof replacement might seem like a big job, but waiting too long can turn a manageable issue into a major problem.
