- Look closely at the flashing around junctions. Are there signs of rust or caulk cracking?
- Notice if there are any shingles that are missing, curling or buckling.
- Evaluate the rubber boots around vent pipes. These can begin to crack and weather under the intense sun during Idaho summers.
- Do you see masses of moss and lichen? This could signal that your roof is decaying underneath. Black algae stains are just cosmetic.
- Are there excessive amounts of granules in your gutters? It’s not uncommon to see granules in your gutter but a large amount could be a sign that your roof is aging.
