Warning signs on exposed Quartz Hill roofs

Stains and cracks near outside walls

On exposed homes, stains often show up where ceilings meet outside walls. That can point to problems where wind-driven rain is getting past roof edges or flashing.

Shingles and tiles that look out of place

Lifted tabs, missing pieces or tiles that have slipped a bit out of line are all warning signs that weather has started to get past the roof surface.

Noisy, flapping areas during wind

If parts of the roof consistently make noise during gusts, it may mean materials are loose and more likely to fail in the next strong storm.
