Signs Your Roof Needs Repair

It is important to recognize when your roof needs repair, as it can save you from costly damage in the long run. While leaks or visible damage are obvious indicators that your roof needs professional attention, it isn't always easy to spot these signs — especially since most people don't go up on their roof for a closer look. 

Certain warning signs will let you know if your roof requires repairs, including:

• Shingle damage: If you notice any cracked, curled, or missing shingles on your roof, it is a sign that your roof needs professional repair. It may indicate age-related wear or hail damage and should not be ignored. 
• Algae growth: Unchecked algae growth can lead to permanent damage to the shingles and cause a weakened structure in its wake. A simple wash-down with specialized cleaning solutions can often bring relief from this problem, but consulting an expert for further advice is always recommended. 
• Leaks: This one is pretty self-explanatory! Any signs of water entering the home’s interior should be checked out immediately, as it could lead to serious structural damage if left unchecked.
• Water stains/discoloration on ceilings and walls: If there are discolorations present along interior walls near the ceiling line, it could mean that water has been able to penetrate through small cracks in the roof structure — another important reason why you should seek professional help right away! 
• Higher energy bills: An improperly insulated roof can permit warm air to escape during winter months, leading to higher energy bills due to increased heating costs. Consult with our professionals about ways you can properly insulate your home before temperatures drop too low.
