How do you know if you need to replace your roof?

 Checklist of problem signs you can look for during an indoor roof inspection.
• Sagging decking between the rafters. If the decking is sagging or deteriorating, the decking will also require replacement when a new roof is installed.
• Outside light that can be seen through the roof. 
• Signs of leaking in the attic. Dark spots in the wood, especially around vents, chimneys, skylights, etc.
• Test dark spots in the wood to decide if they are old or current problems. If the spot is still wet, or if it is soft it is a current problem.
• Signs of water damage or leaking usually in the form of water stains, or sagging ceilings - this could be due to an active leak in the roof or to condensation caused by poor roof ventilation.
