How to Recognize and Inspect Roof Damage After Storms

Once the storm has cleared, it's smart to check your roof for any signs of damage. Not sure where to start? Here’s a quick checklist for Concord homeowners:

• Shingle Damage: Look for missing, cracked, or curled shingles—these are common issues after hail or strong winds.
• Granule Loss: Excessive granules in gutters or at downspouts can signal hail impact or aging shingles.
• Gutter and Flashing Issues: Inspect gutters and metal flashing for bends, dislodgment, or punctures.
• Leaks and Water Stains: Check your attic or top-floor ceilings for any new water stains or damp spots.
