Make an informed decision about your home

Is your roof in trouble? Do you see…

• Shingles shrinking back to the edge of the deck, preventing water from dropping into the eaves trough.
• Curling, buckling, cracking or missing shingles.
• Flashing pulled away from chimney or brick walls
• Missing or cracked caulking.
• Mold on sheathing surface in the attic, or on drywall.
• Evidence of ice dams: long icicles hanging from the eaves or snow melting near the top and running down to still-frozen areas;
  water leaks inside the home in or near the outside walls.

Did you know?

• Inadequate roof ventilation can cause premature deterioration of shingles in the summer and damage by ice dams in the winter.
• Damaged shingles makes your home more vulnerable to driving rain.
• Eaves troughs that do not drain properly in winter can cause roof damage and leaks when water re-freezes.
• Poorly sealed attic openings around pipes, wiring, fans, etc. can cause heat to escape, which leads to snow melting and ice dams.
