Published 2 weeks ago

Your roof is constantly exposed to harsh weather, UV rays, and debris making it vulnerable to damage over time. But the good news? Your roof usually shows early warning signs before a serious issue develops.

At Paramo Construction Inc., we help Illinois homeowners spot these signs early and avoid costly repairs or full replacements down the road.

The 5 Most Common Signs Your Roof Needs Repair

1. Missing or Damaged Shingles

Shingles protect your roof’s structure from water and UV damage. If you spot cracked, curling, or missing shingles, it’s a clear signal that your roof needs attention.

➡️ Tip: Check for granules in your gutters as it could mean your shingles are deteriorating.

2. Leaks or Water Stains Inside Your Home

Water spots on your ceiling or walls are more than cosmetic problems, they could be signs of an active roof leak. Even a small drip can lead to mold, rot, and major structural issues if ignored.

➡️ Tip: Leaks often appear near chimneys, vents, or skylights where flashing may be compromised.

3. Sagging Roofline

If your roof looks uneven or droopy from the outside, this could indicate a problem with the roof decking or underlying structure. Sagging often results from long-term water damage or poor ventilation.

➡️ Tip: A sagging roof is a red flag and should be inspected immediately to prevent collapse.

4. Visible Mold or Moss Growth

Excessive moss or mold buildup on your roof can trap moisture, weaken roofing materials, and lead to leaks. It’s also a sign that the roof may not be draining properly.

➡️ Tip: Cleaning moss off the surface doesn’t fix the problem, professional repair may be needed underneath.

5. Damaged Flashing or Chimney Seals

Flashing seals the edges of your roof, around chimneys, vents, and skylights. When flashing becomes loose, cracked, or rusted, it creates entry points for water.

➡️ Tip: Flashing is one of the first things a roofer checks during an inspection, especially after a storm.

Why Early Repairs Matter

Catching these signs early can save you thousands in repair costs. Delaying fixes can lead to:
