🛠️ Top 5 Signs You Need A Roof Repair (Before It’s Too Late)

Your roof is your home’s first line of defense against Florida’s intense sun, heavy rains, and tropical storms. But even the strongest roofs wear down over time—and the earlier you catch the warning signs, the easier (and cheaper) it is to do a roof repair.

At Riviera Roofing, we’ve seen it all. From minor leaks to major damage, here are the Top 5 signs your roof needs repair—and why you shouldn’t wait.

1. Missing, Cracked, or Curling Shingles

Shingles take the brunt of the Florida heat and weather. If you notice missing, cracked, buckling, or curling shingles, it’s time to act.

Damaged shingles leave your roof vulnerable to:

Water intrusion
Mold and rot
Higher energy bills from poor insulation

A few damaged shingles may be a quick fix—but if left unchecked, they can lead to more extensive issues under the surface.

2. Water Stains or Leaks in the Ceiling

If you see dark spots or yellow stains on your ceiling or walls, you might be dealing with a roof leak.

💧 Even small leaks can:

Cause drywall damage
Promote mold growth
Compromise your home’s structure

Leaks often start at flashing points, seams, or around vents—and are usually easy to fix if caught early. Don’t wait until that little drip turns into a full-blown ceiling collapse.

3. Granules in Your Gutters

Asphalt shingles have a top layer of protective granules. If you find gritty particles in your gutters or downspouts, it could be a sign your shingles are breaking down.

🔍 Excessive granule loss means:

UV protection is compromised
Shingles are nearing the end of their lifespan
Your roof is more vulnerable to leaks and damage

A professional inspection can help you determine if this is just cosmetic—or a red flag.

4. Sagging or Uneven Rooflines

Take a step back and look at your roof from the street. Do you see any areas that appear to be sagging or dipping?

This could be a sign of:

Water damage to the decking
Structural issues from rot
Inadequate attic ventilation

Sagging is never something to ignore—it usually indicates deeper damage that needs immediate attention.

5. Your Roof Is Over 15–20 Years Old

Even if your roof looks fine, age alone can be a reason for concern. Most asphalt shingle roofs last 15–20 years, while metal and tile roofs last longer.

If your roof is approaching (or past) that age, it's smart to schedule an inspection to catch issues before they surprise you.
