1. Visually Inspect Your Roof

• Comprehensive Check: Regularly inspect all roof elements, including shingles, gutters, chimneys, skylights, and vents.

• Look for Damage: Identify missing shingles, popped nails, damaged flashing, detached gutters, and sagging areas that indicate water penetration or wood rot.

2. Trim Nearby Trees

• Prevent Damage: Tree branches can scrape shingles, cause holes, and trap moisture on the roof.

• Animal Prevention: Trim branches to prevent animals from accessing and damaging the roof.
