A new roof isn’t all about making your home look nice on the outside, a dependable roof protects your home from becoming damaged by the elements. A leaking roof can cause water to get inside your house and that leads to expensive repairs. Before your faulty roof costs you money, contact professional Roofing Contractors in St. Paul. If you want to inspect your roof for damage, below you’ll find out what you need to look for.
Inside Your House
You’ll notice telling signs that you need a new roof in MN by grabbing a flashlight and going up to your attic. Once there, shine the light up to the ceiling and look for wet or discolored areas on the floor or on the boards that support your roof. Turn off your flashlight and look up to see if there is any outside light shining through. If there is, then your roof definitely needs some help. On the upstairs or main floor of your home, look for any dark or wet spots on your ceiling.
On Your Roof
If you have a sturdy ladder and you don’t mind climbing up to inspect your roof, you’ll be able to find out a lot about your roof while you’re up there. Inspect your shingles and look for any that have upturned edges or cracks in them. Also examine your roof for shingles that are completely gone. As you look at the shingles, notice the amount of granules that are left on them and check your gutters for granules that have already fell off. Look for any mold that’s growing on your roof, especially around or under areas that are shaded by trees. If you have a chimney, inspect the flashing that’s placed around your chimney where it meets the roof. If you don’t feel comfortable climbing up on your roof, call Roofing Contractors in St. Paul and they’ll come to your home, inspect your roof and give you a free estimate.
