Why This Matters
Regular inspections catch problems before they become expensive repairs. You can perform a basic check twice a year.
What You Should Do
From ground (binoculars): Look for missing, cracked, curling shingles and sagging.
Check gutters: Excessive granules mean deterioration.
In attic: Look for stains, mold, daylight through boards.
Check vents/chimneys: Look for cracked caulking or flashing.
Never walk on roof without safety equipment.
When to Call a Professional
If ground inspection reveals issues, or it's been 3+ years, schedule a professional inspection.
The Bottom Line
Staying ahead of roofing maintenance saves money, prevents emergencies, and keeps your home safe. If you're experiencing any issues above, search our directory for a trusted roofing professional in your area.
