Is Your Roof Trying to Tell You Something?

In the Tri-Cities area — where harsh seasonal winds, sun exposure, and cold winters take their toll — your roof might be aging faster than you think. At Eminent Roofing, we’ve helped hundreds of homeowners in Kennewick, Pasco, and Richland catch roof issues early before they turn into expensive leaks or structural damage.

So how do you know it’s time to act?

Here are five key signs your roof may need replacement — and why it pays to catch them early.

---

1. Curled, Cracked, or Missing Shingles

Shingles are your roof’s first line of defense. When they start curling at the edges, cracking in the middle, or disappearing after windstorms (a common issue in Eastern Washington), your roof is vulnerable to water damage.

Pro tip: Older IKO shingles, in particular, are known for premature wear. If your home still has them, it might be time for an upgrade to GAF HDZ shingles with advanced durability and wind resistance.

2. Granules in the Gutters or Downspouts

If you’re seeing black sand-like particles in your gutters, that’s likely granule loss from your shingles — a common sign of aging and UV wear. Once granules are gone, your roof can’t reflect sunlight or resist rain as effectively.

3. Moss, Algae, or Streaking

Growth of moss or algae isn’t just cosmetic — it can trap moisture and rot the underlying materials. In shaded areas of Pasco and Richland, this is a frequent issue we spot during inspections.

---

4. Sagging or Uneven Rooflines

If your roof appears warped or droopy in certain areas, this could point to structural issues under the shingles — often from moisture infiltration or inadequate ventilation. It’s crucial to catch this before it compromises your attic or interior.

---

5. Your Roof is Over 20 Years Old

Even the best roofs have a lifespan. If yours is 20+ years old (or you’re not sure when it was last replaced), it’s time for a professional evaluation — especially if you’re planning to sell your home or refinance soon.
