LEAKAGE
Your gutters have one job that impacts so many areas of your home from your roof to your foundation. Keeping your gutters clean will keep rain water flowing away from your home, rather than pooling or overflowing onto your roof, which can cause leaks, rotting, mold growth, and more.

TRIM YOUR TREES
A leaking roof is the most obvious sign that there is an issue with your roof. Some leaks can be easily fixed by a roofing contractor when they are caught early one. However, leaking can also be a sign of much larger problems, especially in older roofs. A professional roofing contractor will be able to assess the leak in your roof and recommend the best action.

WEATHER OR STORM DAMAGE
While many roofs can last for thirty years or more, occasionally a strong storm comes in and damages your roof beyond repair. When this happens, it’s important to work with your insurance company and a local roofing contractor to assess the damage and get a new roof on your home as soon as possible.

OUTDATED ROOFING MATERIAL
If your roof doesn’t seem to be doing its job properly, and you have frequent leaks, blown-off shingles, and other problems, your roof may just be aging. Shingles and other roofing materials don’t last forever, especially since they are constantly exposed to outdoor elements. If your roof is older, and you’re beginning to have problems, it may be time to start considering roof replacement.

DAMAGED RAIN SLOTS AND NOTCHES
On asphalt and fiberglass roofs, there are rain slots between the tabs. As your roof ages, the rain slots can become rounded at the corners or have ever-growing gaps in between them. This can result in bent, warped, cracked, or curled shingles, which are all signs that you may need a roof replacement.
