Summer Roofing Challenges Every Cottonwood Homeowner Should Know
July 8, 2025
1. Shingles That Look Curled, Cracked, or “Dry”
- Edges turning upward (especially on west-facing slopes)
- Splitting or cracking along the shingle
- Noticeably lighter or dark patches caused by granule loss
2. Flashing Around Vents or Chimneys Peeling Away
- Rust spots, curled edges, or sealant cracks
- Water stains inside attic spaces
- Warped drywall or paint above roof penetrations
3. Gutter Clogs and Pooling Water on Flat Sections
- Are gutters full of pine needles or grit?
- Is water spilling over the edges or back toward the fascia?
- Any puddles left on flat roof corners?
4. Missing Granules Means Worn-Shingle Warning
5. Sudden Ceiling Stains or Indoor Damp Spots
6. You’re Not Sure When You Last Had a Check-Up
7. Finally, Prevention Beats Panic
- Flash patching flashing around vents/chimneys before it fails
- Cleaning gutters twice each summer
- Breaking up small flat-roof pools promptly
- Replacing a few shingles before they turn into leaks
