🏡 5 Signs Your Roof Needs Repair Before Summer Hits

“Your roof protects everything you love. Take care of it, and it will take care of you.” – ProTek Innovations, LLC

Introduction:

As temperatures start to rise in Michigan, it’s the perfect time for homeowners to assess the condition of their roof. Many people don’t think about roof repairs until water is dripping from the ceiling—but catching problems early can help you avoid major expenses later on. At ProTek Innovations, LLC, a leading roofing contractor serving Clarkston and the Metro Detroit area, we’re here to help you stay protected all season long.

Here are 5 signs your roof may need repair before summer kicks into full gear:

1. Curling or Missing Shingles

Your roof shingles act as the first line of defense against wind, UV rays, and rain. If you spot shingles that are curling, cracking, or completely missing, it’s time for a professional roof inspection. Ignoring these signs could lead to leaks and further damage to your residential roofing system.

2. Granules in the Gutters

Have you noticed sand-like debris piling up in your gutters? Those granules are from your asphalt shingles, and they protect your roof from sun damage. When shingles start to break down, you’ll often find granules in the gutter system—a common indicator that your roof may need repair.

3. Water Stains on Your Ceiling

One of the most obvious signs of a roof leak is a yellow or brown stain on your ceiling or walls. This is often caused by deteriorated flashing or damaged shingles. Left untreated, it can lead to interior mold, insulation damage, and costly drywall repairs.

4. Sagging Roofline

A sagging roofline can indicate trapped moisture, weakened structural elements, or long-term wear. If your roof looks uneven or droops in certain areas, call your local roofing contractor immediately to prevent potential collapse or further structural problems.

5. Moss or Algae Growth

While moss might give your home a “woodland” vibe, it actually traps moisture against your shingles and accelerates deterioration. This is especially common in shaded areas. If you see moss or black streaks on your roof, it’s time for a cleaning—or potentially a professional roofing service.
