Signs You Need Roof Replacement in West Michigan

Your roof is one of your home's most important lines of defense against West Michigan's harsh weather. If it's been 15–20 years or longer since your last roof replacement, you may be overdue for an inspection. VanderLaan's Home Improvement outlines the key signs your roof might need replacing soon.

Top Signs It's Time to Replace Your Roof

•Shingles are cracked, curling, or missing

• Granules are collecting in gutters or around your home

• Leaks in the attic or water stains on ceilings

• Sagging areas on your roofline

• Visible moss or algae growth

How Roof Age Impacts Durability

Asphalt shingles typically last 15–30 years, depending on their quality and the level of weather exposure. If your roof is reaching the end of its lifespan, replacement can prevent costly damage from snow, ice dams, and leaks common in Michigan.
