Spotting Trouble Early Can Save Thousands
Your roof is your home’s first line of defense against Oklahoma’s unpredictable weather. Over time, even the most durable roofs develop issues. Catching these problems early is the key to avoiding expensive repairs or even premature replacement. In this blog, we’ll walk through the most common signs homeowners should look out for, from subtle shingle damage to obvious leaks.
Missing or Damaged Shingles
Strong winds, hail, and storms can tear shingles loose or crack them. If you notice patches where shingles are missing, curled, or broken, it’s a clear signal that your roof’s protective layer has been compromised.
Interior Water Stains
Brown spots or discoloration on ceilings and walls indicate water intrusion. Even small stains often mean moisture is seeping through, which can lead to mold growth and structural damage if ignored.
Sagging Roof Deck
A roof that appears uneven or sagging is a major red flag. This usually means underlying decking or supports are weakened, often due to prolonged water damage.
Granules in Gutters
Asphalt shingles are coated with protective granules. If you find piles of these granules in your gutters after a storm, it’s a sign your shingles are deteriorating and losing their ability to shield your home.
Rising Energy Bills
A failing roof doesn’t just let in water — it can let out air, too. Poor ventilation and gaps in your roof allow conditioned air to escape, forcing your HVAC system to work harder.
Don’t Wait Until It’s Too Late
Roof repairs caught early are far less costly than waiting until small issues snowball into a replacement. If you notice any of these warning signs, it’s time to schedule a professional inspection.
