Look for cracked, curling, or bubbling shingles, and check your chimney flashing for gaps and leakage. If you have a fireplace, make sure the chimney cap is in place. Check roof valleys for signs of damage, since this is where leaks and ice dams occur most often. If you are not comfortable performing the inspection yourself, hire a reputable residential roofing company to help.

There are several good reasons to hire a residential roofing company now, while the weather is mild, to perform roof repair or replacement. First, roof work is dangerous, and it's even more perilous when your roof is layered in ice and snow. You want the roofers concentrating on the work, not fussing with heavy winter gear and navigating slippery shingles. Also, some roofing tools—like nail guns and compressors—don't operate as well in cold weather, and ice and snow can prevent nails from biting into the roof properly. Asphalt shingles become less flexible, and blow offs become more likely. Overall, winter roofing is more hazardous for the installer and more expensive for you.
