How do I know if my roof needs repair or replacement?

If the damage is limited to a specific area, a repair may be enough. If the roof is older, leaking in multiple places, sagging, or showing widespread wear, replacement may make more sense.

Can a small roof leak become a major problem?

Yes. Even a small leak can lead to damaged insulation, mold, stained ceilings, and structural deterioration if it is left unaddressed.

What are common signs of roof damage in Colorado?

Common signs include missing shingles, water stains, granule loss, sagging areas, clogged gutters, and damage after hail or wind.

Should I repair my roof after a hailstorm even if I do not see a leak?

Yes. Hail damage is not always obvious from the ground. A professional inspection can identify bruising, granule loss, flashing damage, and other issues before they worsen.

How often should a roof be inspected?

Many homeowners benefit from having their roof inspected annually and after major storms.
