Practical notes on roofs, leaks, ventilation and what a replacement actually involves, from DLT Roofing Services.
The question is almost never about age. It is about whether the problem is in one place or everywhere — and you can narrow that down from the ground and the attic before anyone climbs anything.
The wet patch on your ceiling is almost never underneath the hole. Water travels along the underside of a roof before it drops, which is why chasing the stain wastes money.
Attic ventilation costs a fraction of what a roof does and quietly decides how long that roof lives. Most homeowners never think about it, and a lot of roofs are replaced early because of it.
A tear-off is loud, fast and messier than people expect. Knowing the order things happen in — and what gets protected — makes the day far less alarming.
