Your roof is your home's first line of defense, and it rarely fails all at once. Catching the warning signs early can save you thousands. Here are seven signals it's time for a professional inspection.
1. Curling or missing shingles
Shingles that curl at the edges or go missing expose your deck to water. If you can see bare patches from the ground, don't wait.
2. Granules in the gutters
Asphalt granules collecting in your gutters mean your shingles are wearing out and losing their protective layer.
3. Daylight through the roof boards
If you can see light through your attic ceiling, water is getting in too.
4. Sagging rooflines
A sagging deck points to trapped moisture or structural weakness and needs immediate attention.
5. Water stains on ceilings
Brown rings or streaks upstairs usually trace back to a roof leak.
6. Age
Most asphalt roofs last 20–25 years. If yours is near that range, plan ahead.
7. Rising energy bills
Poor roof ventilation and insulation can quietly drive up your cooling costs in the Texas heat.
