From the ground

1. Curling, cupping or cracked shingles. 2. Missing shingles after storms. 3. Dark streaks or bare patches where granules have worn away. 4. A sagging roofline.

From the gutters

5. Heavy granule buildup in gutters and at downspouts, especially on an older roof.

From inside

6. Water stains on ceilings. 7. Daylight showing through roof boards in the attic. 8. Damp insulation or a musty attic smell.
