Common signs
- Shingles that are missing, cracked, curled or lifted
- Bent, loose or rusted flashing around chimneys, vents or skylights
- Granules collecting in gutters or at downspouts
- Soft or sagging spots on the roof deck
- Daylight visible through attic boards
What the contractor typically checks
A roofing contractor typically inspects the damaged area and the surrounding roof, checks flashing, vents and penetrations, looks at the attic for moisture, and explains whether a targeted repair or a larger job makes sense.
Before you call
Look at the roof from the ground and avoid climbing onto it. Note where shingles are missing or where stains appear on ceilings, and take photos if it is safe. Clear valuables away from any area where water is getting in.

Questions
Can a roof be repaired instead of replaced?
Often, when damage is limited to one area and the rest of the roof is sound. The contractor decides after inspecting the roof.
Is it safe to go on the roof to look?
Walking on a roof is risky, especially when it is wet, steep or damaged. Looking from the ground or from a window is safer.
Who sets the scope and charges?
The independent contractor sets the scope and charges after inspecting the roof. Confirm all details directly with the contractor.
