Staying on the ground and using your binoculars, you can inspect the shingles all around your roof. Look for any that are curled, broken or missing completely. The attic should be inspected for leaks. The binoculars and a good flashlight will allow you to see throughout the attic. Watch closely for rust stains on the nails and condensation. Finally, step back and look at the overall roof. Dark stains running down the shingles indicate a loss of the protective granules and could indicate that it's time for a new roof.
