Your roof works hard every day to protect your home — but over time, wear and tear can sneak in. The key to avoiding costly repairs is knowing the early warning signs. Here are five clear indicators that your roof might need professional attention:
1. Missing or Damaged Shingles
Shingles that are cracked, curled, or completely missing can expose your roof to water infiltration, leading to leaks and interior damage.
2. Water Stains on Ceilings or Walls
If you notice discoloration or brown spots indoors, chances are moisture has already made its way through the roofing system — a sign of a leak that needs urgent repair.
3. Granules in Your Gutters
As shingles age, they shed protective granules that often end up in your gutters. This is a sign your roof is deteriorating and losing its ability to withstand the elements.
4. Sagging Rooflines
A sagging area on your roof may indicate structural issues or water buildup beneath the surface — both of which require quick intervention.
5. Moss, Mold, or Mildew Growth
Excess moisture trapped on your roof or in the attic can lead to biological growth, which weakens roofing materials and poses health risks.
