Living on the West Coast allows us all to experience the beauty of the Pacific Ocean, but it also means dealing with harsh weather conditions that can take a toll on your home. One of the most vulnerable parts of your home to these conditions is your roof. Over time, shingles can become damaged or missing, leaving your home vulnerable to water damage and other problems.

The Dangers of Missing and Damaged Shingles

Damaged or missing shingles can lead to several problems, including:

• Water damage: Water can seep into your home through damaged shingles, causing damage to your walls, ceilings, and floors.
• Mold and mildew growth: Moisture trapped in your home can create the perfect environment for mold and mildew to grow, which can be a health hazard.
• Increased energy costs: Damaged shingles can make your home less energy-efficient, leading to higher heating and cooling costs.
• Reduced curb appeal: Damaged shingles can make your home look unsightly and can even affect its resale value.

How to Tell if You Have Missing or Damaged Shingles

If you’re unsure whether your shingles are damaged or not, there are a few things you can look for:

• Missing shingles: Look for any bare spots on your roof where shingles are missing.
• Cracked or curled shingles: Shingles that are cracked or curled are more likely to be damaged and need to be replaced.
• Discolored shingles: Discolored shingles may be a sign of water damage or other problems.
• Granule loss: Shingles are coated with granules that help to protect them from the sun and other elements. If you notice a significant amount of granule loss, it’s time to have your roof inspected.
