We recommend that homeowners have their roof inspected at least once a year to prevent potential issues down the line. Regular roof inspections are crucial for maintaining the integrity and longevity of your home’s most important protective layer.

We can tell you that there are several telltale signs that your roof may be in need of repairs or maintenance. Being able to identify these issues early on is crucial for preventing more extensive, costly problems down the line. Let us walk you through the key things to look out for:

1. Missing, Cracked or Curling Shingles Shingles that are missing, cracked, or curling up at the edges are a clear indication that your roof’s protective layer is starting to fail. This leaves your home vulnerable to leaks and water damage.
2. Excessive Granule Loss If you notice an excessive amount of shingle granules in your gutters or around the foundation of your home, it means the shingles are deteriorating and losing their protective coating.
3. Algae or Moss Growth The presence of algae, mold or moss buildup on your roof can signify moisture issues and poor ventilation that need to be addressed.
4. Sagging or Uneven Roof Deck If you notice areas of your roof deck starting to sag or appear uneven, it could be a sign of structural damage or inadequate support. This is a serious issue that requires prompt attention.
5. Exposed Flashing Flashing around chimneys, vents, or roof edges that is cracked, missing or no longer properly sealed can create entry points for water infiltration.
6. Interior Water Stains or Damage The presence of water stains, peeling paint or moisture on your home’s ceilings or walls is a clear indication that your roof is leaking and in need of repair.
7. Daylight Peeking Through If you can see daylight coming through your attic or rafter spaces, it means you likely have gaps or holes in your roof deck that require sealing.

If you notice any of these warning signs, it’s best to have a professional roofer conduct a thorough inspection right away. Catching problems early allows us to make targeted repairs before they turn into major, costly issues. We’re happy to schedule an appointment to evaluate your roof and provide recommendations.

We can perform maintenance and repairs on a variety of different roofing materials, though the specific techniques may vary.
