Murphy Roofing | Roofing Services in Fenton, MO 63026

Common signs include sagging or uneven areas on your roof, leaks that persist even after shingle repairs, and a spongy feeling when walking on the roof (which should only be done by a professional during inspection). Inside your home, you might notice water stains on ceilings or walls that spread. Roof decking rot often stems from prolonged moisture exposure and requires a professional assessment from a contractor like us to prevent structural damage.

In Fenton's climate with seasonal temperature swings and storms, standard asphalt shingles often last 15-20 years. You should consider a replacement if you see widespread curling, cracking, or loss of granules (making shingles look bald), or if you have frequent leaks. Aging shingles lose their waterproofing ability. We recommend a professional inspection around the 15-year mark to evaluate your roof's condition and plan proactively.

It depends on the extent and type of damage. Isolated issues like a few damaged shingles or a small leak source can often be repaired. However, if problems are widespread—like multiple areas of decking rot or aging across most of the roof—a full replacement is usually more cost-effective and reliable long-term. Our team in Fenton will provide a detailed assessment to recommend the best solution for your safety and budget.
