Quick answer
What are the signs my roof needs replacement?
Age (18+ yrs asphalt), granules in gutters, curling or cupping shingles, cracked mastic at flashings, daylight through attic decking, sagging ridgeline, or multiple leaks in different areas. Any two of these = get a written inspection.

Interior signs matter too: ceiling stains that come back after paint, higher energy bills, ice-dam damage in colder NM towns (Los Alamos, Taos). Photograph any change monthly to track progression.
