Missing or Damaged Shingles
If you can safely get a good look at your roof, the first sign of damage is missing or damaged shingles. If any of your shingles are missing, your roof definitely needs a repair or replacement. Damaged shingles can be harder to identify, but here are some signs to look for:
- Edges lifting or curling
- Cracked shingles
- Hail damage
If you notice any of these signs of damage, contact us as soon as possible to schedule an inspection.
Interior Water Damage
Another way to determine if your roof is compromised is to inspect the interior for any signs of a water leak. A properly functioning roof, gutter, and siding system prevents water from entering the home. If any of these are damaged, it is much easier for water to leak inside and start to damage the interior of your home. Water stains on your ceilings or walls might indicate a leak. If water stains are present, it’s important to address them quickly before further damage can occur.
Increased Heating and Cooling Bills
If you’ve noticed an increase in your heating or cooling bill, a compromised roof may be the reason. A well-insulated attic and a working roof should keep air inside, whereas a damaged one is more likely to let that air leak out. Have a professional assess your roof and attic insulation to determine if they are in working order.
