There are many You tube videos you can find online for any kind of do it yourself type of project. There are a lot of do it yourself videos for roofing and gutter repair. It is possible to find damage on your rooftop from previous storm damage that most people are completely unaware of.
The sad thing is many people dont find out they have roof damage until they go to sell their homes and the bank does the property inspection. If the bank property inspector says there is storm damage such as hail to a home, then the bank will not loan money on the house to anyone without it being repaired.
Sometimes they loan money on the home, but they put in the contract they are not responsible for the roof. A simple thing to avoid this pain later on is to inspect your roof around the new years. You can do it yourself, but it is best to have a professional. If storm damage is detected, your insurance will pay to fix or replace the roof. But this must be within a reasonable time of the storm.
