Roof Check Near Cleveland, NC: Before Winter Wind

Why check before winter

A shingle that was lifted in a summer storm can sit there quietly for months. Once the cold and the winter rain arrive, that is where water gets in. Finding it in October is a small repair. Finding it in January is usually a ceiling stain.
