Match Shingle Colors<\/h4>\n

Inspect Your Roof Deck<\/h4>\n

Many people aren’t aware that their roof is leaking until water has been infiltrating for an extended time. Regularly inspect the underside of your roof deck in your attic to look for signs of water damage. This will let you catch leaks early enough to make needed repairs before they spread.<\/p>\n

Check Your Gutters<\/h4>\n

One easy way to find out if your shingles are deteriorating is to check in your gutters. Look for granules washed from the shingles collected in the gutters. This may be a sign that your roof needs repair.<\/p>\n

Don’t Forget Flashing<\/h4>\n

Your shingles aren’t the only part of your roof that may need repair; your flashing can also breakdown over time. Inspect and repair your flashing as needed as well to keep the rest of your roof in good shape.<\/p>\n
