Signs You Need Asphalt Roof Replacement
Myrtle Beach's coastal climate accelerates roof aging. Here are the warning signs that indicate it's time for asphalt roof replacement:
Age of Roof
Asphalt roofs in Myrtle Beach typically last 15-25 years. If your roof is approaching this age, schedule an inspection.
Granule Loss
Finding granules in your gutters? This exposes shingles to UV damage and indicates advanced aging.
Curling or Buckling
Shingles that curl, buckle, or warp have lost their weatherproofing ability and need replacement.
Multiple Leaks
If you're experiencing leaks in multiple locations, your roof system is failing and needs replacement.

High winds can tear shingles off. Multiple missing shingles indicate underlying damage and weakened adhesion.
