Your roof is your home’s first line of defense against Ontario’s harsh weather. From heavy snow and ice in the winter to strong winds and summer storms, roofs in Kawartha Lakes and Central Ontario take a beating year after year. Knowing when to repair or replace your roof can save you thousands of dollars and prevent serious damage to your home.
At Armstrong Roofing, we’ve helped homeowners protect their properties for over 20 years, and here’s what you should look for.
Common Signs Your Roof Needs Attention
Missing or damaged shingles are one of the most obvious warning signs. Shingles that are cracked, curling, loose, or missing allow water to penetrate your roof system and can quickly lead to leaks and structural damage.
Roof leaks or water stains on ceilings and walls often indicate moisture intrusion. Even small leaks can cause mold, insulation damage, and rot if left untreated.
An aging roof is another key factor. Most asphalt shingle roofs last between 20 and 25 years. If your roof is approaching that age, a professional inspection is highly recommended even if there are no visible problems.
Storm and wind damage is common in Central Ontario. Strong winds, falling branches, ice buildup, and heavy snow loads can all compromise your roof. After severe weather, having your roof inspected can prevent small issues from becoming costly repairs.
Roof Repair vs Roof Replacement
Roof repairs are often the best option for isolated issues such as minor leaks, flashing problems, or limited shingle damage. Repairs can extend the life of your roof and are usually more cost-effective.
Roof replacement is recommended when a roof is older, has widespread damage, or experiences recurring problems that repairs can no longer fix. A new roof provides long-term protection and peace of mind.
At Armstrong Roofing, we provide honest assessments and will never recommend a replacement unless it is truly necessary.
