Not every roofing issue starts with a major leak or visible damage. In fact, many costly roof repairs begin as small, unnoticed problems that grow worse over time. That’s why Exteriors Plus encourages homeowners to schedule inspections early—before minor issues turn into expensive fixes.

Here are some of the most common roof repair problems we see across Akron, Canton, and Northeast Ohio homes:

​

• Loose or Missing Shingles – Strong winds, aging materials, or poor installation can cause shingles to detach, exposing your roof to leaks and structural damage.

• Damaged Flashing – When flashing around chimneys, skylights, or vents becomes cracked or loose, water can easily penetrate the roofline.

• Cracked or Worn Pipe Boots – The seals around vent pipes can degrade with time, allowing slow leaks that often go unnoticed until water damage appears inside.

• Exposed Nails or Fasteners – Rusted or popped nails create tiny entry points for moisture that can spread quickly beneath the shingles.

• Granule Loss – If your shingles are shedding granules, their protective layer is failing—reducing UV resistance and accelerating roof aging.

• Small Leaks – Even a minor leak can cause major interior damage if left untreated. Quick repair prevents insulation, drywall, and wood rot issues.

• Sagging or Soft Spots – These are signs of trapped moisture or structural weakness and often require immediate attention.

• Storm Damage – Hail, high winds, and debris can harm your roof even if it looks fine from the ground. Professional inspection ensures no hidden problems remain.
