5 Signs Your Roof Needs Immediate Attention

1. Missing or Curling Shingles

Shingles that are missing, curling, or buckling are no longer providing protection. After any major storm, do a visual inspection from the ground or hire a professional.

2. Granules in the Gutters

Asphalt shingles shed granules as they age. If your gutters are full of dark, sand-like granules, your shingles are nearing the end of their life.

3. Daylight Through the Attic

Head into your attic on a sunny day. If you can see daylight through the roof boards, you have a serious problem that needs immediate attention.

4. Sagging Sections

A sagging roof deck indicates structural damage — possibly from prolonged moisture exposure. This is a major red flag.

5. Skyrocketing Energy Bills

Poor roof insulation lets conditioned air escape, driving up heating and cooling costs significantly.
