As the summer sun starts to cool, it’s time for homeowners in New Mexico to think ahead—especially when it comes to their roof. Fall weather brings unpredictable wind, rain, and the first hints of snow. Here’s how to know if your roof won’t make it through another season.
🧱 1. Curling or Cracked Shingles
New Mexico’s heat can warp asphalt shingles over time. If you notice your shingles are curling, buckling, or cracking, it’s a clear sign your roof is nearing the end of its life.
🔍 2. Bald Spots or Granule Loss
When shingles start shedding their protective granules, UV rays can bake your roof deck and cause leaks. Look in your gutters or driveway for sandy debris.
🌧️ 3. Visible Leaks or Stains Inside
Water stains on ceilings, especially after a rain, point to deeper damage in your roof layers. Don’t wait until it becomes mold or structural rot.
🏚️ 4. Sagging or Soft Spots
If your roof feels spongy underfoot or appears to sag between rafters, there may be serious structural issues requiring immediate replacement.
📅 5. Your Roof is Over 20 Years Old
Most shingle roofs have a lifespan of 15–25 years. If yours is pushing that limit, a proactive replacement may save you from emergency repairs this fall.
