Safety first: Ensure your personal safety before inspecting the roof. If there is still severe weather or if you’re unsure about climbing onto the roof, it’s best to wait until conditions improve or hire a professional.

Exterior inspection: Walk around your property and visually examine the roof from the ground. Look for any obvious signs of damage, such as missing or displaced shingles, loose or broken tiles, or any debris scattered on the roof.

Binocular inspection: Use a pair of binoculars to get a closer look at the roof from the ground. Scan for any signs of damage, paying attention to the edges, corners, and areas where the roof meets other structures like chimneys or vents.

Attic inspection: If you have access to the attic, go inside and look for any signs of water leaks or daylight coming through the roof. Look for water stains, wet spots, or any dripping water. These can indicate roof damage that may not be visible from the exterior.

Ceiling inspection: Check the interior ceilings of your home for any signs of water stains or discoloration. Pay close attention to areas directly beneath the roof, as this can help pinpoint the location of the damage.

Hire a professional: If you’re unsure about the extent of the damage or if you find significant damage during your inspection, it’s recommended to hire a professional roofing contractor. They have the expertise to assess the damage accurately and recommend the necessary repairs or replacements.

Remember, climbing onto the roof can be dangerous, especially if you’re not experienced or comfortable with it. If in doubt, always prioritize your safety and consult a professional.
