Your roof is your home’s first line of defense against weather — rain, sun, wind, and even pests. Neglecting it can lead to leaks, structural damage, mold, and costly repairs. Regular inspections and timely fixes can help extend its life and save money.
Common Roofing Issues
Missing or damaged shingles: Often due to strong winds or aging
Water stains or leaks: Could signal roof or flashing damage
Moss and algae growth: May look harmless but trap moisture and degrade materials
Sagging areas: A red flag for trapped moisture or poor support
Maintenance Tips
Inspect your roof twice a year, especially after storms
Keep gutters clean to prevent water buildup
Trim overhanging branches
Check your attic for signs of leaks or mold
Hire professionals for repairs or if you spot major issues
When to Call a Professional
If your roof is over 15–20 years old, consider a full inspection. Catching problems early can prevent expensive repairs down the line.
