If you notice water leaking into the attic after a storm, it’s important to get your roof looked at as soon as possible. A physical roof inspection will inform you how much damage the storm has caused to your roof.
Sagging Roof

Gutter Clogs
One of the best ways to inspect your roof is to look for any granules in your gutters. Asphalt or composite granules indicate that shingles need replacement.

If you see a spike in your energy bills, it could be a sign that your roofing needs to be inspected. Interior problems
