Mid-Year Roof Health Check: 5 Questions Every Homeowner Should Ask



We’re halfway through the year, and while summer fun is just getting started, your roof has already been through six months of sun, wind, and seasonal stress.

At Fox Roofing Company, we recommend a mid-year check-up for every roof in Irvine, Costa Mesa, and throughout Orange County—especially if you want to avoid surprise repairs later in the year.

Here are five simple but powerful questions every homeowner should ask right now to check the health of their roof.


❓1. When Was My Last Roof Inspection?

If it’s been more than a year—or you’ve never had one—you could be missing early signs of trouble like:

  • Loose shingles or cracked tiles

  • Failing flashing around vents

  • Signs of heat damage or UV wear

  • Hidden leaks that haven’t reached your ceiling… yet

🦊 Tip: Our free inspections come with photo documentation so you see exactly what we see—no guesswork.


❓2. Are There Any Signs of Water Stains or Moisture?

Even during dry months, your roof can trap humidity or leak during morning dew or sprinkler overspray.

Look for:

  • Stains on your ceiling or walls

  • Musty smells in your attic

  • Damp insulation or warped wood

Small leaks now = major damage later if not addressed.


❓3. Is My Attic Properly Ventilated?

Poor ventilation leads to overheating, condensation, and premature aging of your roof system.

We’ll check:

  • Soffit, ridge, and gable vents for airflow

  • Signs of trapped heat or mold

  • Whether your attic is “cooking” your roof from the inside out

🛠️ Pro tip: Better ventilation can lower your AC bills, too.


❓4. How Old Is My Underlayment?

If you have a tile roof, it’s not the tile you need to worry about—it’s the underlayment underneath.
Most need replacing after 20–25 years, even if your tiles look fine.

We specialize in tile lift & relay services that preserve your tiles but upgrade the waterproofing barrier.


❓5. Is My Roof Ready for Summer Storms or Late-Year Rain?

The dry season is the perfect time to fix problems before the rain exposes them.

Ask yourself:

  • Do I see cracked tiles or missing shingles?

  • Are gutters and downspouts clear?

  • Have I handled minor repairs—or ignored them?

Let’s handle it now while the weather is on our side.
