Key Warning Signs: What to Watch For
Water Leaks, Stains, or Indoor Moisture
Dark ceiling spots, yellowish stains, damp drywall, or — worst case — dripping during rain are your roof’s version of waving a red flag. Even a minor leak can sneak into insulation, walls, and electrical areas. If you spot moisture, it’s time to schedule a professional assessment through our dedicated
Roof Repairs team.
Missing, Cracked, or Curled Shingles
If your shingles are looking like they’ve been through a rough patch — missing, breaking apart, curling at the edges, or shedding granules — your waterproofing layer has already punched out early. Left unchecked, this can lead to leaks or structural damage. Your first stop should be a full inspection, or depending on severity, even our
Roof Replacement Service.
Sagging Roofline or Visible Dips
When the roofline starts to sag, bow, or dip, that's a structural red alert. This usually points to compromised decking, trapped moisture, or material failure. Sagging doesn’t fix itself — it escalates. Bring in the experts via our
Roof Maintenance page to prevent the issue from becoming a major structural overhaul.
Damaged Flashing Around Vents, Chimneys, or Skylights
Flashing is the unsung hero of roof waterproofing. Cracked or rusted flashing lets water slip through even when your shingles look great. If you see damaged flashing along chimneys, skylights, or vents, jump on it before interior mold becomes a surprise guest. We handle this kind of repair regularly through our
Roof Repairs service.
Heavy Moss, Mold, or Algae Growth
Thick moss or algae doesn’t just make your roof look neglected — it traps moisture and shortens the lifespan of the roofing material. Portland’s climate makes this especially common. Maintaining a clean, healthy roof surface through routine
Roof Maintenance is a smart move.
Rising Energy Bills or Poor Insulation
Your roof’s condition impacts insulation, airflow, and overall energy usage. If your HVAC costs are quietly creeping up, your roof or attic insulation could be the culprit. Explore our integrated
Insulation service to keep your home comfortable and energy-efficient.
