How to Tell When to Replace an Asphalt Shingle Roof
To determine if you can repair your asphalt shingle roof or should replace it, bend a tab of the roofing on a warm day.

If the shingle is flexible and doesn’t break, the roof has a few years left and you should be able to repair the damage.
If the shingle breaks easily, then your best bet is to replace the entire roof.
If your finding shingle granules in your gutter or yard.
If its old (20 years or older), or just looks bad.
Curling or missing shingles.
If from inside the attic you see any outside light shining through the roof.
If from inside the attic you see any dark spots, signs of water damage or leakage.
Excessive moss growth. Moss digs its roots into the shingle, expands and pulls the shingle apart.
