Much of this you can do yourself with a simple visual inspection. It's worth dedicating the time just to walk around your home (inside and out) and look for obvious signs that your roof needs some attention.

1. Leaks or water damage inside the home
2. Missing, cracked, or curling shingles
3. Sagging or uneven roof deck
4. Dark spots or discoloration on the ceiling
5. Water stains on the walls or ceiling
6. Damp or musty smell in the attic
7. Damage or missing flashing around chimneys, vents, or skylights
8. Granules in the gutter
9. Damage caused by severe weather such as high winds or hail
10. Clogged gutters or downspouts.
