Know Your Roof

Check your home records to see how old your roof is, as age is a big factor in deciding whether to repair or replace. Also check when the last time your roof was repaired or maintained and what type of work was done.

Make an Initial Assessment

Assess your residential roofing system from the ground with a pair of binoculars. Check for visible damage to your shingles. Additionally, check the ceilings for water marks.

Making the Verdict

After checking your roof yourself, it’s time to contact a professional for a comprehensive roof inspection. In many cases, the damage dealt to your roof is more extensive than you think, especially in hurricane-prone areas like Florida.
