5 Warning Signs It’s Time to Call Centurion Exteriors
As the summer sun begins to shine over Fort Wayne, it brings more than backyard BBQs and pool days — it also brings intense UV rays, heavy thunderstorms, and the kind of heat that puts your roof to the test.
Your home’s first line of defense is your roof. But if it’s showing signs of wear, you could be one storm away from costly leaks, energy loss, or worse. At Centurion Exteriors, we believe no homeowner should have to worry every time the weather changes.
Here are 5 warning signs your roof may be trying to tell you it’s time for a summer upgrade — and how our veteran-owned team can help you protect your biggest investment.
1. Curling or Buckling Shingles
If your shingles look like they’ve been peeling away from the roof or curling at the edges, it’s more than just an eyesore — it’s a red flag. Curling happens when shingles age, trap moisture, or weren’t installed properly. And once they start to curl, they’re no longer protecting your home the way they should.
What this means for you: Water can seep underneath, leading to leaks, wood rot, and interior damage.
2. Missing Shingles After a Storm
Fort Wayne weather is no joke — and your roof needs to handle high winds and hail. If you notice bare spots or shingles lying in your yard after a storm, your roof has been compromised.
What this means for you: Even a single missing shingle leaves your home vulnerable to water intrusion and further damage.
3. Granules in the Gutters
Shingle granules are those small, sand-like particles that protect your roof from UV damage. If you’re finding piles of granules in your gutters or downspouts, it’s a sign your shingles are deteriorating.
What this means for you: UV rays can break down the asphalt base of your shingles, shortening your roof’s lifespan and reducing energy efficiency.
4. Sagging Areas or Soft Spots
A sagging roof line or soft spot when walking in the attic? That’s a major warning sign. It could mean underlying structural issues — usually from prolonged water damage or poor ventilation.
What this means for you: Waiting too long could lead to structural failure and significantly higher repair costs.
5. Your Roof Is Over 20 Years Old
Even if everything looks okay from the ground, an aging roof can silently rack up risk. Most asphalt roofs last 20-25 years — but not all are installed or ventilated properly. If your roof is pushing two decades or more, it’s time to bring in a professional.
What this means for you: Small issues become big problems fast on older roofs. An inspection today could save you thousands tomorrow.
