Know before you spend
Signs your roof is costing you money right now
Most of the roofs we replace were leaking long before anyone saw a stain on the ceiling. Water travels along decking and framing, so the damage is usually several feet from the entry point. Catching these signs early is the difference between a repair and a full rebuild of interior finishes.
Ceiling or wall staining
Rings that darken after rain mean water is already sitting on the deck or top plate.
Granules in the gutters
Shingles shedding granules are past the midpoint of their service life and losing UV protection.
Lifted or slipped tiles
Common after wind events; underlayment is exposed and degrading in weeks, not years.
Soft or spongy decking
Indicates trapped moisture and possible rot that must be replaced before any new roof goes on.
Rusted or cracked flashing
Roof-to-wall and chimney flashing fail long before the field of the roof does.
Ponding on flat sections
Standing water 48 hours after rain means drainage or slope needs correction, not just a patch.
