One of the most important parts of your house is the roof. It's what makes your house a home and protects you and your family from the elements.  Superior Products is Cincinnati's premier home improvement company, advising and serving residents for many years as expert roofing contractors.

The team at Superior Products knows that one of the best things a homeowner can do for their house is to take care of the roof. There are signs every homeowner can look for to know when it might be time to get a new roof. Here are some signs to watch for, both inside and outside your home:

• Is Light Shining Through From Outside? This may seem obvious, but it's important to keep an eye out for any daylight coming into the house through the roof—especially if your top floor is an attic that you don't frequent as often as other rooms in your home.
• Is The Roof Sagging Inside? A sagging roof points to structural issues, either due to pressure from the outside or water damage to the roof's materials. If you notice any sagging, contact Superior Products to get an expert opinion.
• Are There Any Dark Spots Or Water Leakage Inside? Darkened areas are caused by water buildup, which creates an environment for mold to grow. These spots may also be leaky. Superior Products has extensive experience dealing with water damaged roofs.
• Are There Shingle Granules In The Runoff Water? As shingles age, their textured granules wear off and appear in your gutters. If you notice a buildup or an increase in granules, call Superior Products for an expert opinion.
• Is There Visible Damage Outside? When you look at your roof, are there any warped or broken shingles or tiles? Is there any wear around vents or chimneys? Do you notice any mold growth? The experienced roofers at Superior Products will help you identify the source of the problem if you see any visible damage.

Any one of these signs is an indication that you might need a new roof. Being knowledgeable of the signs of roof damage and remaining diligent in checking for them are the best ways to ensure you have a sturdy roof. In addition to roofing, Superior Products also installs and repairs gutter systems, siding, and replacement windows.
