While many roofing problems can be
addressed with regular maintenance activities,
roofs still need to be replaced periodically.
Generally, a structure will require a new roof
sometime between every 20 to 50 years.

3.  However, this is not a hard-and-fast rule, and
there are a number of factors that might
influence a roof’s replacement schedule.
When considering whether a roof needs to be
replaced, roofing professionals consider several
details.
Among these factors are signs of leaking.
Sometimes, these signs appear inside the
house in the form of water-stained ceilings.
However, other types of leaks are less
noticeable, and are identified by roofing
professionals during inspections.

4.  Each potential roof leak needs to be
evaluated on a case-by-case basis to
determine the extent of the damage. Many
leaks can be fixed with smaller repairs, while
more serious cases might require a roof
replacement. For example, sometimes
water enters the structure through damage
in the part of the roof that connects with
the walls (referred to as the flashing). This
situation often requires a full roof
replacement.
