We encourage you to do a visible inspection of your roof from the ground and from your attic (if accessible) a few times a year. You will often catch the beginning signs of shingle wear (curling, blistering, or tearing), gaps or cracks near the chimney or walls or around plumbing pipes, or wet spots on the roof deck. But unless you can safely and easily access your roof, we encourage you to contact a licensed roof inspector near you for all roof surface inspections and roof repairs.
