Curling or missing shingles, granules collecting in your gutters, daylight visible through the attic roof boards, sagging areas, and water stains on your ceiling are all worth having checked.

Absolutely. Regular inspections and small repairs now can save you from a costly replacement later. We're happy to take a look and tell you honestly where things stand.

Most leaks can be repaired without replacing the whole roof, especially if they're caught early. We'll find the source of the leak and give you an honest recommendation.

Those streaks are usually algae growth, which is common in humid climates like Alabama's. It's mostly a cosmetic issue, but left unaddressed it can shorten shingle life. We're happy to talk through your options if it's something you'd like addressed.

We do our best to match shingle color and style as closely as possible. Some fading or slight variation is normal on an older roof, but we'll always aim for a repair that blends in.
