  1. Curled or Cracked Shingles:
    Curled shingles appear lifted at the edges, often resembling claws or cups. This can happen due to age, poor ventilation, improper installation, or moisture trapped under the shingles. Cracked shingles have splits or breaks in the asphalt surface. This is most likely caused by aging and exposure to harsh weather.

These are areas where the shingles have completely come off, revealing the roof deck (the wooden boards beneath the shingles). Exposed underlayment: The underlayment is a water-resistant barrier installed directly on the roof deck before the shingles. If it's visible, it means shingles are missing over a larger area.
