Signs that you may need a new Roof

Warning Signs to watch for:

• Composition Shingles: curling, granulation loss, broken, damaged or missing shingles.
• Wood Shingles/Shakes: mold or decay, splitting or curling.
• Flat Roof: obvious patches, cracks or tears, several blisters and/or wrinkles.
• Flashing: tears, buckling around roof penetrations.
• Roofing Cement: excess cement, crumbling
• Soffits and Fascia: decay, stains.
• Soffit & Ridge Vents: clogged or damaged vents, flashing and shingles curling or missing around them.
• Gutters: decay or rust, leaky seams, loosely attached to structure, bent or sagging, missing sections of gutter or downspout, filled with debris. Clogged gutters can easily freeze shut and cause excessive weight on gutter fasteners, ice dam conditions, and slippery walks below.
• Chimneys: leaning, loose or missing flashing, damaged bricks, cap or cracked joints. Chimney flashing is especially prone to tearing because a chimney settles independently from the house.
