Start with the signals you can see

Loose or missing shingles, dark patches, granules in gutters, and water stains inside are all reasons to take a closer look. Many roof issues begin small, but storm exposure and changing seasons can make them progress quickly.

Look after severe weather

After strong winds or heavy rain, walk your property from the ground and look for obvious changes around edges, flashing, and roof penetrations. Avoid climbing onto the roof yourself; a professional inspection can identify issues that are not visible from the driveway.

An honest inspection gives you a clear picture of what is urgent, what can be monitored, and which repairs will extend your roof’s life.
