Question

Shingles on 13 year old roof are curling and lifting in some sections. Do I replace the entire roof ?

Answer 1

All the shingles are the same age so you will probably need to replace all of them. Doubt you will be able to find a color match for whats there anyways.

Answer 2

You should be able to just change out in sections. If there's nothing wrong with the rest I wouldn't take on the expense.

Answer 3

I would have someone check out the attic for ventilation issues if that's all the longer the roof lasted......

Answer 4

Chances are that if some shingles are doing this, then the rest will follow in short order.  

Get three roofing companies out to inspect the roof, you can ask if a partial replacement is appropriate and get estimates for a full putting on a new one.

But, it would be best to just get it all done at once and be done with it.  Get it done right and it will last 30 + years and add value to your house for 5-10 years to come.

It was probably only guaranteed for 5 to 10 years, but if the roofer who did the work is still in business, I'd talk to them. They may be willing to repair their work for less than a third party would charge to protect their reputation.  

I would also check for recalls on the roofing material used.  It may have been found defective. In which case, the manufacturer should bear the cost of repair.

A roof really should last twice that amount of time depending on your location.
