This guide was a solid refresher on what to look for when checking a roof, especially the seasonal checklist and the reminders about vents, skylights, and flashing. I also liked that it separates pitched vs. flat roof issues, since ponding water is something people overlook. It’s not super step-by-step for complete beginners, but it’s really helpful for knowing what to inspect and when to call a pro.
This guide is a solid rundown of what to look for and when, especially the reminder to check in spring/fall and after big storms. I liked the practical checklists for both pitched and flat roofs and the emphasis on drainage and flashing, since that’s where I’ve had issues in the past. It’s not super detailed on DIY vs when to call a pro, but it’s still a helpful starting point for staying ahead of leaks.
