Extreme UV exposure accelerates shingle aging, while temperature swings of 59°F cause expansion and contraction damage. Regular inspection helps catch problems early.

Our contractors are familiar with the specific challenges and building codes in Stanislaus County.

Place a bucket under the drip, move valuables away from the area, and mark the stain's edge with tape so you can track if it's growing. If you can safely access the attic, look for the entry point (it's often upslope from where the drip appears inside). Call a roofer for professional assessment — don't go on the roof yourself in wet conditions.
