    Have You Got Your Roofing-System Inspection This Year, Yet?

    All too often, roof system problems are discovered too late after leaking or other serious damage occurs. Periodic inspections often can uncover cracked, warped or missing shingles; loose seams and deteriorated flashings; excessive surface granules accumulating in the gutters or downspouts; and other visible signs of roof system problems.
