Roofing Tips of the Month

Tip #1: Look Up After Every Big Storm

Most roof damage doesn’t announce itself—it sneaks up later.

• After heavy rain or wind, walk your property
• Look formissing shingles, lifted edges, debris, or granules in gutters
• Check ceilings fornew stains or bubbling paint

Tip #2: Small Repairs Today Prevent Big Bills Tomorrow

A $900 fix today can save a $15,000 roof replacement later.

• Tiny leaks grow fast
• Flashing, sealants, and edge details fail first
• Don’t wait until water is coming through the ceiling

  “Roofs don’t usually fail all at once—they fail by neglect.”

Tip #3: Know Your Roof’s Age & Warranty

Most homeowners don’t know how old their roof is or what type of roof you have—and that can cost them.

• Asphalt roofs average20–30 years
• Flat roofs often need attention sooner
• Tile Roofs need routine maintenance 50 year
• Manufacturer warranties are different from workmanship warranties
• Insurance companies care about age more than appearance

  “If you don’t know how old your roof is, your insurance company definitely does.”
