Signs Your Florida Roof Needs Attention

Most Florida roof problems announce themselves before they leak. These are the signals worth acting on.

From the ground

Lifted, curled or missing shingles; slipped or cracked tile; rust staining at fasteners; sagging along a ridge or between rafters; debris caught in valleys.

From the gutters

Granules accumulating in gutters and at downspout outlets means the shingle surface is wearing through.

From inside

Ceiling or wall staining, musty attic smell, daylight visible at penetrations, or damp insulation.

After a storm

Creased tabs along ridges and rakes, displaced tile at hips, and debris impact marks — none of which necessarily leak right away.
