J. Bos Inc. Roofing Services | Certified Master Shingle Applicators
Roof damage multiplies in winter when heat loss, ice, and snowpack push water into the system. A quick inspection now keeps minor problems from becoming major interior repairs.
What to Look For
Missing or Damaged Shingles
Search for:
• Curled edges
• Cracked surfaces
• Areas that appear lighter (granule loss)
• Exposed nails
These indicate weathering or prior hail damage.
Flashing Weak Points
Chimneys, skylights, pipe boots, and roof valleys are common leak sources. Flashing must sit tight and sealed.
Signs of Soft Spots
Walk gently and feel for spongy areas. These can mean water has already reached the roof deck.
Moss, Algae, or Dark Streaks
This indicates moisture retention on the roof surface.
When to Call a Professional
• You see multiple missing shingles
• There is daylight visible in the attic
• You notice moisture or staining on ceilings
