Signs your roof needs attention (before it becomes an emergency)

Some warning signs are obvious. Others are silent until the next big rain.

Look for:

• Missing, cracked, or curling shingles/tiles

• Stains on ceilings or attic framing

• Rusting flashing or exposed fasteners

• Soft spots or sagging areas

• Granule loss (for certain roof types)

• Persistent leaks around chimneys, skylights, or valleys

If you’re unsure, a professional inspection can clarify whether you need a repair, targeted replacement, or full system upgrade.
