This month you’ll want to inspect your roof and attic…even if you’re renting, performing this task can help prevent damage to your personal belongings inside the home.  And with the strong spring winds we’ve had recently, shingle damage may be more noticeable now with loose or dislodge roofing materials. 

 A simple, visual inspection now can save you from expensive repairs later. It’s a chance to catch small issues before they become major problems.

Take a walk around house, looking for loose, missing, or curled shingles, as these can lead to leaks and water damage over time. Inside your attic, check for signs of moisture, such as stained insulation or damp wood, which could indicate a hidden roof leak.

I also recommend walking the interior of the home and checking out the ceiling. Are there any dark spots that could be new/old moisture? Again, if you’re renting, did you notice these when you moved in? You could snap pic to make sure they aren’t getting bigger.

If you notice any concerns, hiring a roofing professional for an assessment can help protect your home’s structure and value. Just reach out if you’d like me to recommend a reliable roofer for a more thorough inspection.
