How to Identify Potential Roof Problems

It’s easy to take your roof for granted. As long as there aren’t any leaks, you don't think about it. But as soon as you find a mysterious

drip from the dining room ceiling or a patch of paint peeling in the kids’ bedroom, it’s obvious: No part of your home is more important

to keeping the weather out than the complex system of wood decking, moisture barriers, shingles and ventilation installed

just above your head.

Could Your Roof Be in Trouble?

Here are some common signs that your roofing system may not be working efficiently anymore:

• Leaks in the attic or top floor in rainy or snowy weather
• Water stains on ceilings
• Blistering or peeling paint and plaster on ceilings or walls
• Excessive shingle debris in gutters or the yard
• Shingles showing signs of deterioration by buckling, curling or blistering
• Persistent problems keeping your home heated in cold months or cooled in warmer months
