  • How can I tell if my roof is in need of repair or maintenance?

    • Large amounts of shingle granules in the gutter

    The following can also indicate roof damage:

    • Peeling wallpaper or wall coverings
    • Discolored plasterboards

  • How will I know when it’s time to replace my roof?

    Here are some signs your roof may need to be replaced:

    • Leaking - evidence of leaks in your home means the roof could have been leaking for a while
    • Appearance - curling, broken, or warped shingles can indicate it's time for a new roof
