1. Shingle Loss After Tropical Storms
If last week’s squall blew shingles into your yard, wind-uplift has likely broken the roof seal. Missing tabs open pathways for rain and should trigger a full system check.
2. Chronic Leaks & Interior Stains
Brown ceiling spots or peeling wall paint mean water has already breached the deck. Replacing a patch may buy time, but in Miami’s year-round humidity, trapped moisture breeds mold fast.
3. 20+ Years on the Same Roof
Sun, salt air, and hurricane seasons shorten asphalt shingle life to about 20 years. If your roof was installed before 2005, plan for replacement before insurance premiums climb.
4. Sagging Deck or “Soft” Walk Areas
A roof that bounces underfoot indicates rot in the plywood sheathing. Structural damage rarely stays local—swap the whole system before it collapses under the next downpour.
5. Rising Cooling Bills
Granules reflect heat. When they wash into gutters, attic temps soar, forcing your AC to work harder. A new reflective roof can cut summer energy costs up to 15%.
