As the weather warms up and Colorado prepares for a busy roofing season, now is the perfect time to evaluate the condition of your roof. Delaying necessary repairs or a full replacement can lead to costly damage—especially with the hailstorms and high UV exposure we see across the Front Range.
If you're unsure whether your roof is still in good shape, here are five clear signs that it’s time to call Stone Creek Roofing & Solar for an inspection—and possibly a full replacement.
1. Your Roof is 15–20 Years Old
Most asphalt shingles are rated for 20–25 years, but Colorado’s harsh conditions often cut that lifespan short. If your roof is nearing two decades in service—or you’re not even sure how old it is—it’s time to get it professionally evaluated.
2. You See Curling or Cracked Shingles
Shingles should lie flat and secure. If you notice curling edges, cracked sections, or even missing shingles, it’s a clear sign your roof’s protective barrier is compromised. This can expose your home to water damage and reduce energy efficiency.
3. Your Gutters Are Full of Granules
Shingle granules serve as a protective UV coating. When they start shedding into your gutters, it's a red flag that your shingles are breaking down. It’s especially common after a hailstorm—and in Colorado, hail season is always just around the corner.
Pro Tip: Schedule a post-storm inspection even if you don’t see obvious damage. Hail can weaken shingles without tearing them.
4. Sagging or Soft Spots in Your Roofline
A drooping or wavy roofline could signal water damage to your decking or support beams. Soft spots may indicate moisture penetration. These structural issues often require more than patchwork—they’re a sign it’s time to start fresh.
5. Energy Bills Are Creeping Up
Your roof plays a major role in insulating your home. If you’ve noticed higher heating or cooling costs lately, it might be due to poor ventilation or insulation caused by a failing roof.
Why Act Now?
The warmer months are ideal for roof replacements, and getting ahead of hail season can save you from larger insurance claims or emergency repairs. Plus, many roofing products are eligible for energy efficiency rebates and insurance discounts when installed proactively.
