How do I know if I need a new roof?

- Blistered, curled or split shingles
- Loose or missing shingles or ties
- Loose nails
- Exposed nails that could cause leaks
- Dark patches on asphalt shingles and/or large amounts of granules in the rain gutters that show the granular coating is
wearing away
- Sagging either on the ridges or in the center of the roof
- Broken or loose shingles at the ridge lines and hip lines
- Rusty or corroded metal flashing and loose shingles in the valleys, plumbing vents or near chimneys. It may be
necessary to remove excess debris and leaves to inspect thoroughly - and lots of leaf debris can cause damage to these sensitive areas of the roof.
- Rusty metal or loose shingles in locations where a vertical side
of the house meets the roof
- Overflowing gutters or excess water pooling near the foundation of the house
- For flat roofs, look for blisters, depressions near vent pipes, separations in flashing, and clogged drains.
