Your roof is at least 20 years old; while many shingles today are produced for durability, many factors can accelerate the aging of shingles.
Your home’s roof is its first line of defense against storms and extreme weather, be it a foot or more of snow dropping from the sky overnight or high winds that tear through the town. When homeowners place blind faith in their roof and neglect it completely until the first sign of a leak appears in the ceiling, they could already be facing much larger problems—unwanted structural issues, mold growth, or damaged insulation, for starters. Spare yourself a headache down the road by having your roof periodically inspected.

A flat bar can then be used to pry up the damaged shingles and remove any remaining nails holding it in place.
