Signs You Need a Roof Replacement in Portland
Grab your coffee this weekend and take a 10-minute walk around your house. Here’s exactly what to look for — the same red flags we spot every week on Portland roofs.
The 7 Signs It’s Probably Time for a New Roof
Curling or missing shingles
Especially on the south or west sides where sun and rain hit hardest.
Piles of black granules in your gutters
Your shingles are literally shedding their protection.
Dark green or black moss patches
Usually heaviest on the north side under trees.
Water stains on ceilings or attic
Even a small brown spot means water already found a way in.
Sagging roof line
This is serious — rot is pulling the deck down.
Roof is 20+ years old
In Portland, that’s usually the end of the road for asphalt shingles.
You’ve had 2+ repairs in the last 3 years
Patches are just bandaids at this point.
Quick Self-Check Tip
Take photos from the ground with your phone. If you see 2 or more of the above, it’s worth getting a professional opinion before the next big rain.
