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)
