Sun, wind, snow, and ice all impact the life of your shingles over time, causing them to shrink or become brittle as they age, and at some point, they need to be replaced. Failure to replace can cause expensive damage.

Therefore, it is important to regularly assess your roof's condition as well as the rest of your property for damage, wear and tear, and signs of aging.

If your roof is at or near the 20-year mark, it should be inspected regularly to determine its functional life before expensive damage becomes inevitable.
