Keep installation and warranty records

Roof type, age, contractor and product information help with future decisions.

Track interior clues

Ceiling stains and attic moisture may justify investigation without assuming the roof is the cause.

Schedule qualified inspection when needed

Height, pitch and fall risk make roof walking unsuitable as a routine homeowner task.
