Rain runs off instead of soaking in
The most visible change, and the one most homeowners notice in the first storm. Water beads and sheds rather than sitting in the shingle mat waiting for the temperature to drop.
Nothing about your house changes visually — that is rather the point. What changes is how the roof behaves in weather, and how many winters it has left in it.

Check your gutters and downspouts after a hard rain. The gritty sediment that collects there is your roof's UV protection, and locking it back down is a large part of the job.
Black algae feeds on the limestone filler in shingles and needs a damp surface to spread. A roof that sheds water is a far less hospitable place for it to get going.

Whether you book the work or not, the inspection leaves you better informed about your own roof than you were that morning.
