Before June Hits: 5 Quick Ways to Check If Your Roof Needs Repair
Summer’s almost here—and in Orange County, that means hotter temps, longer days, and more wear on your roof.
At Fox Roofing Company, we always tell our clients: late May is the perfect time to give your roof a quick checkup—before the summer sun takes its toll or that one small issue turns into a costly surprise.
Here are 5 fast ways to check if your roof needs attention before June arrives.
🔍 1. Do a Ground-Level Visual Scan
Step outside and look up. You’re checking for:
Slipped or missing tiles
Curling or cracking shingles
Uneven rooflines or sagging areas
Discolored or faded patches
Tip: Use binoculars for a closer look—but don’t get on the roof. Leave that to the pros.
💧 2. Check Inside for Water Stains
Head to the attic or top-floor ceilings and look for:
Yellow or brown stains
Soft drywall or bubbling paint
Damp insulation or musty smells
If you see any of these signs, your roof may already be leaking, even if it hasn’t reached your living space yet.
🌬️ 3. Inspect After Windy Days
Spring winds in Orange County can loosen tiles and lift shingles. If we’ve had a breezy week:
Check your yard for roofing debris
Look at roof edges and valleys for shifted materials
Make sure flashing around vents and chimneys looks intact from the ground
🧱 4. Check Gutters and Downspouts
Clogged or detached gutters can cause water to back up under your roof. While you're out doing spring cleanup:
Clear out leaves and debris
Make sure water flows properly away from your home
Look for granules in the gutters (a sign your shingles are wearing out)
