Once you find a professional to inspect your roof, BobVila.com suggests they do the following tasks:

Check the flashings. Flashings are metal pieces that cover curves and edges of your roof, and water can easily leak in and around them if they are damaged. Openings around the flashing may need to be resealed with roofing cement.
Look in the gutters. If your roof is composed of asphalt shingles, a professional should look in the gutters for pieces or grains of the shingles. This can be a sign that your shingles may need to be replaced.
Inspect droops. If part of your roof looks like it's sagging, a professional should examine it for moisture or rotting that may indicate it needs to be replaced.

Regular roof inspections may help identify problems before they become worse. By making sure your roof is in good shape, you can help prevent bigger hassles down the road, while keeping your home and family safe, too.
