How to Know If You Need a Roof Repair
Knowing when it’s time for a roof repair can be tricky, especially for homeowners. Most people aren’t able to get up on the roof to check for damage themselves. However, there are key warning signs that indicate a repair may be necessary. Below, we’ll walk through common signs of damage, how to identify roof issues, and the most frequent roof repair solutions.
Signs of Roof Damage You Can Spot
Leaks Inside Your Home
One of the most obvious signs that your roof may need repairs is leaks inside your home. Water stains on the ceiling or walls, damp insulation, or persistent dripping are all major red flags. Leaks can originate from damaged shingles, flashing issues, or clogged gutters. If left unaddressed, these leaks can lead to costly interior damage and mold growth. If you spot signs of water damage, schedule an inspection immediately!
Physical Damage to Roofing Materials
If you notice cracked, missing, or damaged shingles, your roof may be at risk. Physical damage is commonly caused by:
Storms
(wind, hail, and heavy rain)
Falling debris
(tree limbs, branches)
Wear and tear
(over time)

Gutters & Fascia Board Damage
A clogged or damaged gutter system can cause water to overflow onto the roof, leading to fascia board rot and soffit damage.
Fix:
- Replace damaged fascia/soffit
- Clean gutters or install gutter guards
- Preventative maintenance to avoid future damage
Flashing Problems & Leaks
Flashing is installed to seal roof openings (chimneys, vents, skylights, valleys). If improperly installed or worn down, water will seep through, causing leaks.
Fix:
- Replace damaged flashing
- Seal problem areas to prevent leaks
Popped Nails Can Lead to Leaks
Over time, nails securing asphalt shingles may pop up due to moisture and temperature fluctuations. This causes shingles to lift, creating holes for water to enter.
Fix:
- Secure loose nails and fill holes
- Prevent further damage to underlayment and decking
