A roof that is in disrepair can lead to major expenses due to water damage and rot. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">You should inspect your roof in the fall and late spring, as this way you can make roofing repairs before and after the winter season. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Before climbing up on your roof it is important to first know how to inspect your roof. <\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">It is also important to exercise caution when climbing on a roof. Make sure you use a sturdy ladder and rubber soled shoes. Also bring a note pad and pencil to record any roof damages.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>How to Inspect Asphalt Shingled Roofs<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Once up on your roof, inspect for cracked and missing shingles. Also look for popped roofing nails and missing sections of ridge vent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">High winds and extreme temperature changes can cause roof shingles to dislodge and roofing nails to work their way upwards. Also inspect asphalt shingles for curling and warping. This is a sign that the shingles are either getting old and\/or have been exposed to very high heat, possibly due to an inadequate amount of attic insulation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">In addition, check the shingles for a significant loss of aggregate. If you see a significant amount of aggregate lying in the gutters, this is a clear sign that the shingles are wearing. This could mean that the shingles may need to be replaced in the not too distant future.<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Next check around chimneys, vent pipes and dormers to make sure the metal flashing is not corroded or missing. Also check to make sure any roofing cement is not dried out or cracking around these areas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Metal flashing plays an integral role in preventing water from seeping into the home, and if your roof inspection suggests it is failing, you should have it repaired immediately.<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"47%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6315\" src=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Shingle_1-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"How to shingle roofs and roof valleys.\" width=\"271\" height=\"203\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Shingle_1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Shingle_1.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 271px) 100vw, 271px\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Also inspect around the roof eaves to make sure no water has seeped through the lower level shingles and damaged the roof eaves. This is a common sign that you have had ice dam damage. With ice dams, water works its way up and under the bottom shingles near the eaves. The water then drips down into the roof soffit areas causing rot, mold and mildew.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Inspecting Membrane Roofs<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">If you have a membrane roof, look for any tears to the membrane or any standing puddles of water. Pay close attention to around scuppers and down spouts. Make sure they are not damage or clogged.<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\">\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Inspecting Wooden Shake or Shingled Roofs<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">If you have a wooden shake or shingled roof do not climb up on the roof.

Instead inspect your roof from a ladder and look for signs of cracked, broken or chipped tiles. Tiled roofs are easily susceptible to ice damage so examine them closely if you live in a cold weather climate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">So with these basic skills on how to inspect your roof, you should now be able to identify roofing problems fairly quickly. Make sure after finding any roof damage to have it repaired promptly.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><b>For more help on Shingling Your Home&#8217;s Roof<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #0b0000;\">, see HomeAdditionPlus.com\u2019s <\/span><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/home_addition_bid_sheets\/asphalt-shingle-roofing-bid-sheet\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Asphalt Shingle Roofing Bid Sheet<\/span><\/a><\/strong>. <span style=\"color: #0b0000;\">The<\/span> <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/home_addition_bid_sheets\/asphalt-shingle-roofing-bid-sheet\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Asphalt Shingle Roofing Bid Sheet<\/span><\/a><\/strong> <span style=\"color: #0b0000;\">will help to ensure<\/span> <span style=\"color: #0b0000;\">that your roof won&#8217;t end up with a blue tarp over it and a dumpster sitting in your yard for weeks as you wait for the roofing contractor to come back and finish roofing your home.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/home_addition_bid_sheets\/asphalt-shingle-roofing-bid-sheet\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11804 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Asphalt_Shingle_Roofing_Bid_Sheet_CP-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Asphalt_Shingle_Roofing_Bid_Sheet_CP-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Asphalt_Shingle_Roofing_Bid_Sheet_CP.jpg 384w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;
