Your Roof Is Over 20 Years Old

Shingles No Longer Lying Flat
Curled, cracked, or missing shingles are the most obvious signs of damage. This issue could be due to many reasons, including water damage or a faulty installation. If you identify that the shingle problems are due to a fault during installation, you should check your insurance options for poor quality.
