This checklist is built to help you understand what deserves attention and when it is time to bring in a roofer.
Exterior items to review from the ground where possible
Look for missing or lifted shingles, uneven roof lines, visible debris buildup, overflowing gutters, staining on fascia, and anything that suggests drainage is not working properly.
If a roof area cannot be viewed safely, that is a good reason to leave the closer review to a roofing professional.
✓ Visible roof surface wear
✓ Moss, debris, and blocked drainage
✓ Flashing and edge details that look exposed or damaged
Interior signs that often connect to roof issues
Ceiling stains, damp attic insulation, musty smells, peeling paint near roof lines, and daylight showing where it should not all deserve attention.
Interior clues are often the first sign of a roof issue even when the source is not obvious yet.
When a checklist should turn into a service call
If you notice active leaks, repeated symptoms, or broader wear patterns, a formal roof inspection is the best next move.
The point of the checklist is to catch trouble early, not to delay help once the roof is clearly asking for it.
