Winter in Upstate NY can be especially harsh on roofs, so now is the time to make sure yours is ready to handle the snow, ice, and cold. Here are the top five warning signs that your roof may need repairs before winter arrives.
1. Missing or Damaged Shingles
Missing, cracked, or curling shingles are a clear sign your roof may not withstand heavy snowfall. Replacing damaged shingles helps keep water from seeping into your home.
2. Sagging Areas
If you notice any sagging, your roof may have structural issues. This can quickly worsen under heavy snow and ice, putting your home at risk.
3. Granule Loss
If you find granules from asphalt shingles in your gutters, it may mean the shingles are wearing out and need replacement to avoid leaks.
4. Water Stains on Ceilings or Walls
Stains indoors indicate that water is seeping through your roof. This could lead to costly repairs if left untreated through the winter.
5. Moss or Mold Growth
Moss and mold can trap moisture on your roof, which can damage shingles and create weak points. Cleaning this buildup is essential before winter.
