If you've got an old satellite dish on the roof that nobody uses anymore, take a look at it before winter. Those mounts are bolted right through the shingles, and the sealant around the bolts dries out and cracks after a few years. That's a common spot for a slow leak you don't find until there's a stain on the ceiling.

If somebody already took the dish down, the bolt holes sometimes get left open or just dabbed with caulk. If you've got one up there, or you're not sure what got left behind, send us a picture from the ground and we'll tell you if it's worth a look.

This time of year we start finding squirrels and other critters working their way into attics. They're looking for somewhere warm before winter, and a chewed corner on a roof vent or a gap at the roof edge is all it takes.

From the ground, look for chewed edges on the vents and fascia, a gap where the gutter meets the roof line, or a lot of activity around one corner of the roof. If you hear scratching overhead early in the morning or around dusk, that's usually your answer.

Once they're in, they tear up insulation, and that hole lets water in too. Deal with the critter first, then get the opening sealed up before the snow. If you're not sure what you're looking at, snap a picture and send it over.

Quick one to check before the snow flies. Find any spot where a roof edge runs into a wall, like where the garage roof meets the side of the house. At the very bottom of that line there should be a little bent piece of metal called a kickout flashing that steers the water into the gutter.

If it's missing, everything running down that roof edge gets pushed behind the siding instead, and you usually don't find out until the sheathing is soft or there's a stain inside. Look for streaks, peeling paint, or swollen trim right under that corner.

Not sure what you're looking at? Snap a picture from the ground and send it over.

We get a few good wind days this time of year, and here's something worth knowing heading into the cold. Shingles stick down to each other with a sealant strip that needs warm sun to set. Once the temps drop, a tab that gets lifted or creased in the wind usually won't seal back down on its own until spring, and that loose edge is what the next storm grabs and peels off.

After a windy day, walk around the house and look up. A shingle that looks bent, raised, or a different shade than the ones around it is worth a closer look. Don't climb up there yourself. Snap a picture from the ground and send it over, and we'll tell you if it needs anything before winter.

Quick one while you're up in the attic this fall. Grab a flashlight and look down at the edges where the roof meets the outside walls. If the insulation is packed tight against the roof boards there, your soffit vents can't pull any air in.

Your attic is supposed to breathe in low at the soffits and out up top at the ridge. Block the bottom and the warm, wet air just sits up there all winter. That's how you end up with frost on the nails, damp decking, and a better shot at ice dams.

The fix is usually cheap. Foam baffles stapled between the rafters hold the insulation back and leave a channel for air. If you're not sure what you're looking at, snap a picture and send it over. Happy to take a look.

Now that we're getting those first frosty mornings, take a look at your roof before the sun hits it. If the frost is melting off in patches or streaks while the rest of the roof is still white, that's usually heat leaking out of the house into the attic. Low insulation, an attic hatch that doesn't seal, or bath fans venting into the attic will all do it.

It's worth sorting out now, because that same warm spot is where snow melts, runs down to the cold edge, and freezes into an ice dam come January. If you snap a picture some morning and aren't sure what you're looking at, send it over and I'll tell you what I think.

A guy knocks after a storm and says, "Just sign this so we can talk to your insurance for you." Read it before you sign it. A lot of times that paper is actually a contract, or it signs over your insurance money to them, and now you're locked in before anybody has even told you what the job costs.

You don't have to sign anything for someone to look at your roof. A good roofer will get up there, show you photos, and let you make the call on your own time. If they want a signature before you've seen a price, I'd slow way down.

If you've got a tree branch hanging over your roof, this is the time of year to deal with it. Once the leaves are down you can actually see what's touching the shingles.

A branch that rubs in the wind wears the granules right off. Load it up with wet snow or ice and it can come down on the roof. It also gives squirrels and raccoons an easy path to your vents and soffits.

A good rule is about six feet of clearance from the roof. If it's a big limb, call a tree guy instead of climbing a ladder with a chainsaw. And if a branch has already been rubbing, have someone look at that spot before snow covers it.

Before the snow shows up, take five minutes and walk around your house with your phone. Get a photo of each side of the roof, the gutters, and anything that already looks off, like a creased shingle or a stain on the soffit. Come spring, if something changed over the winter, you'll know whether it's new or it's been there for years. That makes the conversation with a roofer or your insurance company a lot easier, and nobody has to climb a ladder.

One question we get a lot: can you just put new shingles right over the old ones and skip the tear-off?

Some roofers will say yes without blinking because it lets them come in cheaper. The problem is nobody looks at the decking underneath, so soft spots and old leak damage just get buried. You're also adding a lot of weight to the house, most manufacturers won't back their best warranties on a layover, and when it's time to replace it down the road you're paying to tear off two layers instead of one.

If a quote comes in low because it's going over the top, ask them what they plan to do about the deck. That answer tells you a lot.
