CHECK THAT ROOF

Avoiding roof problems can save you from costly damage, skyrocketing energy costs, and an unattractive home exterior. 

 Use this simple checklist to help identify early signs of potential trouble: 

* Loose or missing roof shingles. 

* Stains on interior or attic walls. 

* Shingles curled around the edges. 

* Cracked, buckled or blistering shingles. 

* Gutters full of granules from shingles. 

* Roof flashing that shows wear. 

If you checked one or more of these signs, your roof may need replacing. 

A deteriorated roof not only detracts from a home's appearance, but can damage its interior, and drive up heating and cooling costs.
