The sad truth for most homes is that common roof problem aren’t noticed until the forecasted rain is falling in your kitchen instead of rolling off the shingles.

Much like many other areas in life, your roof sends you signals before it crumbles into a financial mess of repairs and replacement. By learning how to diagnose a case of bad shingles, and how to treat it, you can save time and money.
So what are the warning signs of the most common roof problems?
Roof Problems Sign #1: The Stain of Mysterious Origin
This often overlooked red flag can save your roof and your sanity. When water stains appear on your walls and/or ceiling, it often indicates a leak somewhere in your roof, which is a small issue that can lead to big problems.
Roof Problems Sign #2: Peeling Like a Sunburn
Another early indicator of minor roof damage is paint peeling. You would most likely see this peeling occurring at the roofline due to extra moisture or poor ventilation. Much like a leak, this is a small problem that can quickly devolve into a bigger one.
Roof Problems Sign #3: Curling Like a Christmas Ribbon
Roof shingles are not immortal. Depending on your type of roof, you can expect a 20-30 year lifespan. When your shingles are nearing retirement age they’ll let you know by beginning to curl.
Roof Problems Sign #4: Attic Abandonment
Despite what most horror movies might have you believe, you should not avoid the attic in your home. A routine visit to the rafters can provide crucial clues to your roof’s health and any possible damage. Signs of leaks, sagging rafters, and much more can be spotted early in your attic.
