Every property owner must ultimately choose about their roof. Is it acceptable to repair the problems and damages, or does the entire structure need to be replaced? If your roof is over 10 years old, should it be patched up or should you replace it? These are all issues that many homeowners face at one time or another.
The roof is an integral and important component of any house as it literally forms the uppermost layer that protects everything else. Not only does it serve an aesthetic purpose, but its integrity directly impacts every other room in terms of both energy conservation and protection from the elements. As such, never take roofing lightly or make decisions without due diligence always consult a professional when necessary.
Shingles are missing or hanging loose.
There are few shingles that are lost or exposed, and this is not something to be overly concerned about. Because replacing shingles is simple, repairing issues like this is usually simple and can often be accomplished by yourself as long as extreme caution is exercised.
If you have a lot of shingles missing from a huge expanse of roof, this may be an indication that your roof needs to be replaced. Also, if granules of shingle material are in your gutters, it indicates severe wear and suggests that it is time to replace your roof.

Age of the Roof
Usually, if your roof is older than 20 years, it either needs to be replaced soon or has needed replacement for a while. Certain types of roofs are an exception to this rule, though. For example, tile, metal, and concrete roofs very rarely need replacing except when they sustain severe damage. It usually takes quite a bit to harm metal or concrete roof.
Maintaining your roof and inspecting it on a regular basis can help you save money on replacement. Make repairs as soon as possible after they happen, and you’ll be able to prevent them from becoming more serious problems in the future.
