Signs Your Roof Needs Immediate Repair

During inclement weather, you may detect odd creaks or taps, like groaning or rattling, which could mean your roof structure is weakening.



Check your gutters for an unusual amount of granules. They’re shed from asphalt shingles during normal aging, and an excessive amount means your shingles are severely worn.
