After high winds common in our area, look for missing, curled, or creased shingles. You might also find granules from the shingles in your gutters or on the ground. These issues can quickly lead to leaks, so it's best to have a professional inspection from a local roofer like us to assess the full extent of the damage.

Signs of roof decking rot often start inside your attic—look for dark stains, soft or spongy wood when touched, or a musty smell. In Fredericksburg, this often stems from small, undetected leaks from storm damage or ice dams. Rot compromises the structural integrity of your entire roof. We can inspect the decking during any repair to ensure the foundation of your roof is solid and safe.

For minor, accessible issues like a single missing shingle on a low-pitch roof, a DIY fix might be possible. However, for widespread damage after a storm, any sign of a leak, or problems near roof valleys and flashing, it's safest to call a professional. We have the safety equipment and expertise to diagnose the root cause—like hidden decking rot—that a temporary patch won't solve, saving you money and stress in the long run.
