Many roofing problems can be detected from the outside. Do you detect one or more of the following problems? Be sure to take care of these issues as soon as possible!

• Loose or exposed nails
  
  >>> cover these exposed nails with IKO Shingle Stick, then sprinkle some granules on top.
• Shingles that are cracked, curled or buckled up
  
  >>> check if the ventilation is working properly and change the affected shingles. If there are too much damaged shingles, you have to start thinking about a new roof. Ventilation is essential for the longevity of your roof.
