How to Handle Minor Roof Repairs Before They Become Major

Fall is an ideal time to address small roofing issues before they escalate into serious problems during the colder months. In the Greater St. Louis area, early repairs can save homeowners from expensive emergency work.

Spotting Minor Problems

Common issues that may need attention include:

• Missing or cracked shingles
  
  
• Damaged flashing around vents and chimneys
  
  
• Small leaks in the roof or attic
  
  

Even minor damage can allow moisture to seep in during winter, causing structural damage, mold, and insulation issues.

DIY vs. Professional Repairs

While some homeowners can handle minor patching, a professional roofer ensures repairs are done correctly and safely. Benefits include:

• Preventing leaks from worsening
  
  
• Extending roof lifespan
  
  
• Avoiding costly emergency repairs

• Schedule seasonal inspections
  
  
• Keep gutters and downspouts clean
