Your roof is one of the most expensive components of your home to replace — and one of the easiest to ignore until it's already failing. Here are seven signs it's time to call a roof inspector.
1. Missing, Curling, or Cracked Shingles
Shingles that are lifting, curling at the edges, or visibly cracked are no longer doing their job of shedding water.
2. Granules Collecting in Gutters
Asphalt shingles shed granules as they age. Finding a buildup of granules in your gutters or downspouts is a sign your roof is nearing the end of its lifespan.
3. Sagging Rooflines
A roofline that dips or sags can indicate structural issues with the decking or framing underneath — this one shouldn't wait.
4. Water Stains or Active Leaks
Stains on ceilings or in the attic, even small ones, usually mean water is getting in somewhere. Catching it early is far cheaper than repairing the resulting damage.
5. Your Roof Is 20+ Years Old
Most asphalt shingle roofs are rated for 20-30 years, but real-world lifespan depends heavily on installation quality and weather exposure. An inspection can tell you how much life is realistically left.
6. Recent Storm Damage
Hail and high winds can cause damage that isn't obvious from the ground. An inspection after a significant storm can catch issues before they turn into leaks.
7. You're Buying or Selling
Roof condition is one of the top items buyers and their lenders scrutinize. A pre-listing or pre-purchase roof inspection can prevent surprises at the negotiating table.
What a Roof Inspection Includes
Our roof inspections evaluate shingles, flashing, gutters, and ventilation, and can be paired with thermal imaging to spot hidden moisture that isn't visible to the eye.
