Do a complete visual inspection of your entire roof from top to bottom, including all roof penetrations from heating/cooling vents and hot water heater vents. Make sure to take notes while completing the inspection of any noticeable wear or holes that may have developed on the roof. Inspect shingles or tile from one end to other end of the roof, plus inspect all roof 
sections that end along a roof section wall of any secondary roof stories of the home. If you note any issues, write them down and then determine a course of action to repair or replace any section immediately. The last thing you want your roof to do is leak because you did not address a roofing problem right away. Finding problems now and fixing them can save you tons of money down the road.

Maintain your roof on regularly scheduled basis by inspecting it regularly, keeping it clean and repair it right away when issues are found.
