Signs Your Roof Needs Repair or Replacement: A Homeowner’s Guide

January 30, 2025

Avoid Additional Expenses

Your roof is your home’s first line of defense against the elements. Over time, even the most durable roofs can show signs of wear and tear. Recognizing when your roof needs repair or replacement is crucial to preventing costly damage to your home. At Paese Construction LLC, we specialize in roofing solutions that keep your home protected and looking its best. Here are some common signs to watch for and tips on what to do next.


1. Missing or Damaged Shingles

Missing or damaged shingles are one of the most obvious signs that your roof needs attention. Shingles protect your roof from water intrusion, and when they are cracked, curled, or missing entirely, your home becomes vulnerable to leaks. Regularly inspect your roof after storms or high winds to check for shingle damage.


If you notice shingles on the ground or see uneven patches on your roof, it is time to call a professional. At Paese Construction, we provide thorough roof inspections and quick, efficient repairs to restore your roof’s integrity.

2. Water Stains on Ceilings or Walls

Water stains inside your home are a telltale sign of a roof leak. These stains often appear as brown, yellow, or dark rings on your ceilings or walls. Left unchecked, leaks can lead to structural damage, mold growth, and costly repairs.



If you spot water stains, it is essential to act quickly. Our team at Paese Construction specializes in identifying the source of leaks and implementing effective solutions to protect your home from further damage.


3. Granules in Your Gutters

Asphalt shingles shed granules over time, especially as they age. If you notice a buildup of granules in your gutters or downspouts, it could be a sign that your roof is nearing the end of its lifespan. Granules play an important role in protecting shingles from UV rays and water damage, so their loss weakens your roof’s durability.


Regular gutter cleaning can help you monitor the condition of your shingles. If you see an excessive amount of granules, reach out to Paese Construction for an evaluation.

4. Sagging Roof

A sagging roof is a serious issue that requires immediate attention. It often indicates structural damage caused by water infiltration, poor installation, or excessive weight on the roof. A sagging roof not only compromises your home’s aesthetics but also poses a safety risk.


If you notice sagging areas on your roof, contact Paese Construction right away. Our experienced team will assess the situation and recommend the best course of action, whether that involves reinforcement or a complete replacement.


5. Increased Energy Bills

Have you noticed a sudden spike in your heating or cooling costs? Your roof could be the culprit. Damaged or poorly insulated roofs allow air to escape, forcing your HVAC system to work harder to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature.


Upgrading your roof with energy-efficient materials can help lower your utility bills while enhancing your home’s overall comfort. Paese Construction offers a variety of roofing options designed to improve energy efficiency and reduce long-term costs.

6. Aging Roof

Even if your roof appears to be in good condition, age is a critical factor to consider. Most asphalt shingle roofs have a lifespan of 20–25 years. If your roof is approaching or exceeding this age, it is wise to schedule a professional inspection to evaluate its condition.



Replacing an aging roof before major problems arise can save you significant time and money. Paese Construction can guide you through the process, offering durable and attractive roofing solutions tailored to your needs.

How to Tell When a Roof Has Reached the End of Its Service Life

February 3, 2026
Many homeowners assume a roof will clearly announce when it needs to be replaced. In reality, roofs often fail gradually, and the signs of an aging roofing system are not always dramatic. Understanding when a roof has reached the end of its service life can help homeowners make proactive decisions that protect their property, rather than reacting to costly damage after failure occurs.  A roof is a system, not just a surface. Even when shingles appear intact, underlying components may no longer be performing as intended.

How Proper Roof Replacement Protects the Rest of Your Home

January 27, 2026
A roof does far more than keep rain out. It is a critical structural system that protects nearly every other component of a home. When a roof reaches the end of its service life, replacing it is not only about improving appearance or addressing visible wear. A properly executed roof replacement plays a major role in safeguarding the structure, interior, and long term value of the entire property.

Replacing Your Roof Before Selling Your Home: What to Consider

January 14, 2026
When preparing to sell a home, many owners focus on interior updates, staging, and cosmetic improvements.

Replacing an aging or visibly worn roof before listing a property can significantly impact buyer confidence, inspection outcomes, and overall marketability.

What High End Roofing and Siding Materials Really Offer Homeowners

Snow, Ice, and Aging Roofs: Why Replacement Matters During the Christmas Season

December 23, 2025
The Christmas season often brings colder temperatures, shorter days, and an increased likelihood of snow and ice. While many homeowners are focused on holiday gatherings and year end responsibilities, winter weather places significant stress on residential roofing systems.

At Paese Construction, we work with homeowners who recognize that winter conditions do not create roofing problems, they expose them.

How Roof Replacement Addresses Hidden Damage That Repairs Cannot Resolve

The Importance of Proper Ventilation When Completing a Full Roof Replacement

December 2, 2025
A full roof replacement offers homeowners the opportunity to strengthen the performance, durability, and efficiency of their homes. While many people focus primarily on the shingle material or the aesthetic transformation, one of the most important components of a successful roof replacement is proper ventilation. Ventilation plays a central role in the long term health of the roof structure, the comfort of the living space, and the overall lifespan of the new roofing system. When we complete a roof replacement, ventilation is never an afterthought. It is a fundamental part of the installation process that ensures the entire system performs as it should.
