Exposed nails.
These also can lead to leaks in your roof as the water seeps around the head of the exposed nails.

Dark patches on asphalt shingles and/or large amounts of granules in the rain gutters.
This could mean that the granular coating of your roof is wearing away and needs to be replaced.
On a slate roof, dark patches could indicate mold, but are often just discolored places from trees dripping repeatedly on the slates. If you see dark patches, be sure to check the interior for dark or discolored drywall or other evidence of a leak before calling us.
Sagging either on the ridges or in the center of the roof.
Rusty or corroded metal (flashing) and loose shingles in the valleys, plumbing vents or near chimneys.
You may need to removed leaves and other debris before a proper inspection can be done.
Remember that a lot of leaf debris in the valleys, plumbing vents, or near the chimney can cause problems with your roof if not dealt with promptly at the end of the season.

Rusty metal or loose shingles in locations where a vertical side of the house meets the roof .

Overflowing gutters or excess water pooling near the foundation of the house.

On a flat roof, look for blisters in the coating.

Depressions near the vent pipe on a flat roof is another sign to look for.

These depressions also can be filled in with roofing cement. Keep your eyes open for separations in the flashing, or clogged drains, as these are also signs of trouble for a flat roof.
