Your roof is your home’s first line of defense — but it can’t speak for itself. At Artisan Roofing Company, we believe proactive maintenance and timely roof replacement can save you thousands in future repairs. Here are five telltale signs your roof might be trying to tell you something:

1. Shingles Are Curling or Missing

Warped, cracked, or missing shingles often point to weather damage or aging materials. Once the outer layer breaks down, water can seep into the underlayment and cause structural issues.

2. Dark Streaks or Moss Growth

Black streaks can indicate algae growth, which doesn’t just look bad — it slowly eats away at roofing material. Moss retains moisture and accelerates decay, especially in shady or humid areas.

3. Leaks or Water Stains Inside

Water spots on your ceiling or walls often mean there’s already a breach in your roofing system. If you’re seeing drips or moisture in the attic, don’t wait — small leaks quickly become big problems.

4. Sagging or Soft Spots

A sagging roofline or soft patches underfoot are red flags for underlying rot or damage to the roof decking. This can compromise your home’s structure and requires immediate attention.

5. Your Roof is 20+ Years Old

Most asphalt shingle roofs last about 20–25 years. If yours is approaching or past that range, it’s smart to get a professional inspection — even if there are no visible issues yet.

At Artisan Roofing Company, we offer free roof inspections and honest assessments. No gimmicks. Just dependable service, premium materials, and work we stand behind. Contact us today to schedule your inspection — your home will thank you later.
