Roof leak, or something else?

Not every drip from the ceiling is the roof. Bathroom fans that vent into the attic, sweating pipes and failing toilet seals can all leave stains that look like roof leaks. If your leak shows up on dry days, it may be plumbing rather than the roof - worth checking before you call anyone.

Planning a new roof

If your shingles are curling or you're finding grit in the gutters, it's a good time to start planning, before the next winter storm. A roofer can inspect the roof and attic, explain what's needed and help you choose shingles that suit the house.
