These are some of the minor issues that you need to see to before they get out of hand:

Missing Shingles

Missing roof shingles are often a result of severe weather conditions. Major storms can rip shingles from your roofing system, leaving significant gaps in your rooftop. These gaps allow water and dirt to get under your shingles and damage your roof deck. Your roof deck is the base of your roofing system; when an issue significantly affects your roof deck, you may have some major trouble on your hands.

Curled or Cracked Shingles

Curling or cracked roofing shingles occur due to the sun baking down and drying out your roof shingles. Curled or cracked asphalt shingles cannot protect your roof from nature, leaving your roofing structure exposed to the elements.

A curled shingle may also be a result of improper installation. If this is the case, you may want to inspect your roof just to ensure that your other roofing shingles have been installed correctly and before they all start to curl.

Moss Growth or Moldy Shingles

The growth of moss or mold on your shingles means it is being overexposed to water and moisture. This overexposure may result from stagnant water on your roof, which could mean your gutters are clogged or simply not functioning as they should be.

Moss and mold growth on your roof can lead to the deterioration of your shingles. Walking on your rooftop will also become much more difficult as moss can be quite slippery.

Shedding Granules

If you see that your asphalt shingles are looking a little bare and that there’s an accumulation of granules in your gutters, your shingles may be losing their granules. The granules on your asphalt shingles are there to protect your shingles from deterioration and your roof from harmful UV rays.

A shedding of asphalt granules may also result from excessive foot traffic on your roof. It’s essential to see to this issue immediately, to delay the deterioration of your home’s roofing system.
