Regular Roof Inspections

The roof is one of the most important features of your home’s exterior. It informs curb appeal, protects against the elements, and can even improve energy efficiency.

A roof replacement is a significant investment, but you can extend the life of your roof by completing routine roof inspections.

How Often Do You Need a Roof Inspection?

Generally speaking, you should complete a professional roof inspections one or two times a year. Once a year for new roofs is typically sufficient, but you should increase it to twice per year as the roof ages.

In addition to routine inspections, you should have professional roofers inspect your roof following any significant weather event.

Are you wondering about the cost of roofing maintenance inspections?

Adding annual or twice-annual roof inspections is an inexpensive addition to your home’s exterior maintenance routine. Plus, it’s a small investment that pays you back by protecting your home.

Why Roof Inspections are Important

Most homeowners understand why a roof inspection is needed after hail or high winds, but many don’t give much thought to the maintenance of their roofs otherwise—and that can be an expensive mistake.

Regular inspections are one the best ways to extend the life of your and to ensure you enjoy the best possible performance.

All roof damage cannot be seen from the ground, and having a professional inspect your roof helps small issues be identified before they become bigger problems. Some of the problems a roof inspection can uncover include:

  • Punctures
  • Loose Shingles
  • Improper Installation
  • Wrinkles and Blisters
  • Flashing issues
  • Stains

While all the issues named above will need to be addressed, spotting them early allows your roofing contractor to complete the repairs before secondary damage occurs. Without such inspections, you may not notice a problem until interior leaks occur. In that case, the repairs are likely to be much more extensive and expensive.
