Ace Roofing & Sons Shares 10 Ways to Tell If You Need a New Roof

Atlanta, Georgia (PRWEB) September 19, 2013

So, what should you look for when inspecting for roof repair? The National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) recommends doing a roof inspection at least two times a year -- spring and fall. The best place to begin is inside the home -- grab a flashlight and make a trip to the attic.

Here are four things to look for on the inside:

1) Places where the roof deck is sagging

2) Signs of water damage or leaking

3) Dark spots and trails

4) Outside light showing through the roof.

EXTERIOR CHECK When looking at the exterior of the roof, pay attention to such things as damaged flashing, missing shingles, curling, blistering, buckling, rotting and algae growth (which occurs most often in humid climates and appears as dark or greenish stains).

The HomeTeam Inspection Service offers these roof repair tips on what to check for on the outside:

5) Visually inspect the roof for cracked, torn, bald or missing shingles.
