When It's Time for Roof Replacement
The roof is one of the most important parts of a home. It protects everyone inside from the elements, keeps the home structurally sound, and adds to the overall aesthetic appeal of a property. However, over time, even the sturdiest of roofs will begin to show signs of wear and tear. Here are some telltale signs that it’s time for a new roof.
Age
The age of a roof plays a crucial role in determining when it needs replacement. Most roofing materials have an expected lifespan, and once a roof nears or surpasses that timeframe, its ability to provide adequate protection diminishes. Regular inspections as your roof ages can help you plan for a replacement before issues arise.
Missing/Broken Shingles
Missing or broken shingles on the roof are sign that it’s starting to deteriorate. Over time, exposure to weather elements such as rain, wind and hail can cause shingles to crack or break off completely. This can lead to water damage inside a home if not repaired.
Sagging Roofline & Gutters
A sagging roofline or gutters is another clear indication that it’s time for a new roof. These are caused by several factors including water damage, rotting wood beneath the shingles or poor initial installation. All of this serves to put additional pressure on the roof. When you see these, and other warning signs, it’s time to call in a Mansfield roof installation pro.
Interior Water Damage
Water damage inside a home is often an indicator that there may be an issue with the roof. Look out for water stains on ceilings and walls which could indicate a leaky roof.
Standing water in the attic after heavy rainfalls could also be a sign that it’s time for a new roof. Water damage that is left untreated can lead to moss. Moss growth can lead to unhealthy air, and that can lead to health problems down the line.
Energy Bills Are Increasing
If there is an uptick in energy bills lately without any changes in usage habits within the house, then an old and inefficient roofing system could be the culprit behind these increased costs. As roofing systems age, they lose their effectiveness at insulating homes properly which leads to higher energy bills during peak heating/cooling seasons.
Granule Loss
Granule loss on shingles is a subtle but important indicator that your roof may need replacement. Over time, weather and aging can cause the protective granules on shingles to wear off, leaving the underlying material exposed to the elements. This can accelerate roof deterioration and reduce its ability to protect your home, making it crucial to inspect for excessive granule buildup in gutters or bald patches on shingles.

How Long Does It Take To Replace A Roof?
There are several factors that affect the length of a roof replacement. In general, we complete a roof replacement in one to five days, however scheduling an in-home evaluation is the best first step to take when you need to know how long it will take to replace your roof. Here are some additional items that will could affect the timeline:
- Complexity of the Roof – A standard roof on a 3,000-square-foot home can typically be replaced in about one day if no problems arise. However, if you have a complex roof or extensive damage, the job may take up to five days. In order to get the job done as quickly as possible, we will need access to your home during the day. Consider how your family can adjust to normal routines while we complete the roof replacement.
- Weather and Roof Replacement – Weather conditions are outside our control, but we do our best to put in as much time as possible each day. Rain, strong wind, high temperatures, freezing and snow may delay the work. Some roofing companies will work in just about all weather conditions, but the roof won’t last as long as it should. If the weather changes after we start the job, we cover the roof with a tarp to protect your home from the elements. Please understand that your heating and cooling system may not work as well if this happens during the summer or winter.
- Access to the Property – Not only will our experts need to be on your property, but we will also place a large construction dumpster near the worksite. This is necessary so we have a place to dispose of the old roofing materials. We also need to secure a perimeter around the dumpster, and your family will not have access to a good part of your yard. If we cannot put a dumpster next to your home due to landscaping and other factors, the job may take longer. In most cases, it only takes us several hours longer, but it is possible that we may need an extra day to replace your roof.
- Other Factors That Affect How Long Roof Replacement Takes – We may also find other issues as we work on your roof, such as mold and rotting ceiling beams. These problems need to be corrected to make sure that your roof is safe. The repairs also help your roof last as long as possible. If we do find these types of problems, your roof replacement may take up to three weeks or longer.
How Long Do Roofs Last?
A traditional roof is designed to last for at least 20 years, depending on the materials used for the original construction. Tile, slate, and copper roofs last up to 50 years, and metal roofs can last 40 to 70 years.
Given the lifetime of a roof, you may be wondering why you would ever need to replace the one on your home. Water damage is one of the most common reasons why homeowners contact the experts at All American Roof Pros for a roof replacement. Moisture breaks down the lumber that is used for the structure of your roof, and it also provides mold with an ideal environment. Another reason why people choose to replace their roofs is to add value to the property.
Benefits of regular roof inspections include:
- Early detection of damage or wear
- Prevention of leaks and water damage
- Preservation of your home’s value
- Peace of mind knowing your roof is secure

When is the Best Season to Replace Your Roof?
Not only is the weather best for roof replacement during the spring, but the days are also longer. We cannot work on replacing your roof when there is not enough sunlight. If you schedule your roof replacement in the spring, it may take fewer days than other times of the year. Roof replacements in the fall and winter months will take longer because there isn’t as much daylight during the day.
If a roof is old, it may need to be inspected regularly to ensure that it is in good condition. Some roofs are also required to be inspected by local building codes or requirements.

Tips for Saving Time on Your Roof Replacement
There are some ways that homeowners can save time on their roof replacements without sacrificing quality. If you are experienced with DIY projects, you may be able to remove some of the roof on your own, such as the shingles.
Although this may not save days on the job, it could cut down the timeline by a few hours. We don’t recommend that homeowners remove more than the shingles. First, working on a roof requires a high level of safety. Second, if you aren’t familiar with roof replacements, you may damage the roof and end up adding more time to the project.
Our Roof Replacement Process
Before the work starts, we order all the materials for the job so we can get right to work on the day of your appointment. Being short of materials is one of the main reasons why roof replacement jobs go over the timeline. Materials are sent directly to your home, so you’ll need to have a space to safely store them. We also order a construction dumpster to be set up on your property, preferably close to where we will do the work.
Next, we remove your existing roof, and the old materials are disposed of in the dumpster. We install the new roof, and clean up the work area, including having the construction dumpster removed from your property.
Although this may not save days on the job, it could cut down the timeline by a few hours. We don’t recommend that homeowners remove more than the shingles. First, working on a roof requires a high level of safety. Second, if you aren’t familiar with roof replacements, you may damage the roof and end up adding more time to the project.
