Signs You Need a New Roof
Don't wait for a leak to discover your roof needs replacement. Watch for these warning signs.
Age of Your Roof
HighMost asphalt shingle roofs last 20-25 years. If your roof is approaching this age, it's time to consider replacement.
Curling or Missing Shingles
HighShingles that are curled, cracked, or missing entirely indicate weather damage and reduced protection.
Excessive Granule Loss
MediumFinding excessive granules on the ground or excessive granule loss from shingles means they are deteriorating and losing their protective coating.
Sagging Roof Deck
CriticalA sagging roof deck indicates structural problems that require immediate attention and likely full replacement.
Daylight Through Roof Boards
HighIf you can see daylight through your roof boards in the attic, you have gaps that are allowing moisture in.
Water Stains or Leaks
CriticalInterior water stains, mold, or active leaks indicate your roof is no longer providing adequate protection.
Moss or Algae Growth
LowWhile not immediately critical, excessive moss or algae can trap moisture and accelerate roof deterioration.
Damaged Flashing
MediumCracked or damaged flashing around chimneys, vents, and valleys can lead to water intrusion.
Higher Energy Bills
MediumA failing roof reduces insulation efficiency, causing your HVAC system to work harder and energy bills to rise.

Our Recommendation
Choose Asphalt Shingles if: You're looking for a cost-effective solution with traditional aesthetics, plan to sell your home within 15-20 years, or have a tight budget.
Choose Metal Roofing if: You're planning to stay in your home long-term, want maximum durability against Idaho's heavy snow and extreme weather, prioritize energy efficiency, or want a roof that will likely outlast your ownership.
Tear-Off vs. Overlay: What's Best for Your Home?
Understanding the difference between a complete tear-off and an overlay can help you make an informed decision.
Complete Tear-Off (Recommended)
A tear-off involves removing all existing roofing materials down to the roof deck, allowing for a complete inspection and fresh start.
Benefits
- • Inspect and repair roof deck damage
- • Identify and fix structural issues
- • Better ventilation installation
- • Longer-lasting results
- • Proper underlayment installation
- • Meets building codes
- • Better warranty coverage
- • Prevents weight overload
Best For:
- Homes with one existing roof layer
- Roofs with visible damage or leaks
- Long-term home ownership
- Maximum warranty protection
- Peace of mind
✓ Real Home Solutions Recommendation
We recommend tear-offs in 95% of cases for superior quality and longevity.
Roof Overlay
An overlay involves installing new shingles directly over the existing roof without removing the old materials.
Potential Benefits
- • Lower upfront cost
- • Faster installation (1-2 days)
- • Less waste disposal
- • Minimal disruption
Significant Drawbacks
- • Hidden damage goes unrepaired
- • Shorter lifespan (15-20% less)
- • Added weight stress on structure
- • Uneven surface appearance
- • Limited warranty coverage
- • May violate building codes
- • Trapped moisture issues
- • Difficult to re-roof later
Only Consider If:
- ▸Only one existing layer present
- ▸Current roof is completely flat/smooth
- ▸No visible damage or leaks
- ▸Deck is confirmed in good condition
- ▸Selling home in near future
⚠ Important Note
Most building codes prohibit more than two layers of roofing. If you already have two layers, a tear-off is required.
Why We Recommend Tear-Offs
While overlays might save money upfront, a complete tear-off provides better value over time. You'll get a longer-lasting roof, better warranty protection, and the peace of mind knowing your roof deck is in good condition.
Real Home Solutions specializes in complete tear-offs that ensure your new roof performs optimally for decades to come.
