- Shingles in poor conditions: Inspect the shingles for signs of damage, such as curling, cracking, missing, or loose shingles. If a significate number of shingle damaged, it may be time for a new roof.
- Leaks and water damage: If you notice water stains on your ceiling or wall, or if you find evidence of leaks in your attic, it could indicate roof problems. Chronic leaks that are not easily fixed may suggest the need for a new roof.
