How old is the existing roof? If installed properly and with good materials, an asphalt shingle roof should last 20 to 25 years, sometimes longer. 

• Go outside and look at the roof. Are the shingle lines still straight or can you see sags or other irregularities? A sag would indicate that the sheathing underneath is rotting. .

• When you clean your gutters (which you should be doing twice a year), do you find a lot of asphalt granules in the gutter? That's a sign the asphalt shingles are breaking down.

• Do you see cracked, curled or misshapen shingles? As shingles age, they begin to deteriorate. Are any shingles missing? Check to see if all of the tabs are intact.

• Does your chimney flashing consist of roof cement or tar? Chimneys are a potential weak spot on roofs and need to have a long-term, water-tight fitting such as metal flashing.

• Go up in the attic, preferably during or immediately after a good rain, and look for evidence of leaks or moisture. .

If you're starting to see some of these warning signs, have a qualified roof inspector give you a professional assessment.
