Your roof is designed to protect your home quietly and reliably - but like any part of a home, it shows signs when something isn't quite right. Some changes are normal over time, while others may indicate damage that should be addressed sooner rather than later.
Common Signs to Watch For
Granule Loss
Granules help protect shingles from UV exposure. Some granule loss is normal as a roof ages, but excessive buildup in gutters or downspouts can signal accelerated wear.
Missing, Cracked or Curling Shingles
Shingles that are cracked, lifting, or missing altogether can allow water to penetrate the roofing system and should be evaluated promptly.
Discoloration or Dark Streaks
Streaking may be caused by algae or moisture retention and can indicate aging materials or ventilation issues.
Soft Spots or Sagging Areas
Any noticeable sagging or soft areas on the roof surface may suggest underlying structural concerns and should be professionally inspected.
Interior Warning Signs
Water stains on ceilings, damp attic insulation, or unexplained musty odors can indicate roofing issues - even if exterior damage isn't obvious.
Why Early Attention Matters
Addressing roofing concerns early can help prevent more extensive damage, reduce repair costs, and extend the life of your roof.
When in doubt, a professional inspection provides clarity and peace of mind.
