The roof is exposed to the elements. It protects the house from the falling objects and allows the rainwater to run away.
The most common issue is the roof gutter congestion. The trees' dead leaf and twig can fall on the roof and later be washed into the gutter. That debris can congest the roof gutter if you don't regularly remove them.
Another common issue for the roof is leaking. Sometimes a falling tree branch can poke a hole in the roof, causing roof leaking. For small holes on the shingle or small cracks on the cap sheet, you can spray a layer of rubber sealant and fix the problem in 5 minutes. The spray rubber sealant is easy to apply. You shake the can for 1 minute, then spray on the surface, the spray took 24 to 48 hours to fully cure. You can apply multiple layers of sealant.
You can also coat some areas with a thick layer of liquid rubber waterproof sealant. The Liquid Rubber Waterproof Sealant/Coating can be applied with a painting roller. Multiple layers of waterproof sealant can be applied. The waterproof sealant can be bought from home depot or online. The price depends on the material strength, brand, curl time, application condition (rain, temperature), easy to use, etc.

Liquid Rubber Waterproof Sealant/Coating - Indoor & Outdoor Use
You can coat some area or the whole roof (2-3 buckets) with a thick layer of liquid rubber waterproof sealant. The Liquid Rubber Waterproof Sealant/Coating can be applied with a painting roller. The brown coating turns into a black waterproof layer after 24 hours on a warm and dry day. The coating process took 1 hour. Make sure you clean the pine needles and dead leaves as much as you can on the roof. If you don't want to DIY, you can hire a contractor to replace the cap sheet for you.
