Roof inspections should generally occur annually, but more frequently for older roofs or after severe weather.

Asphalt shingles have granules that protect them from UV rays, provide fire resistance, and enhance durability. Excessive granule loss signals that the shingles are deteriorating.

If water stains are noticed on the ceiling after a storm, it is a sign of serious problems with the roof.

Flat roofs are among the hardest types to maintain, as they are prone to water damage and problems caused by collected debris.
