When Do You Need a Roof Inspection?

Out of sight, out of mind; this is most homeowners’ attitude when it comes to the roof of their residential home. Unfortunately, they don’t often realize that their roof needs maintenance until it is too late. However, you don’t have to make the same mistake.

If you intend to enjoy your roof for a long time, then it is important that you adhere to the following tips for when to have your roof inspected so that it remains sturdy and durable for years to come.

Knowing When a Roof Inspection Is Necessary

Here are some times of year and conditions under which you should schedule a roof inspection for your property.

1. Prior to hurricane season. If severe weather, such as hurricanes and tornados, affects your area or has been forecasted, then it is advisable to get an inspection before. This will allow for the specialist to take care of any faults or issues that your roof may have before the winds kick in. Your roof will still be affected, but the damage to the roof will be limited and less costly.
   
   
2. After a severe storm. A big storm can do some serious damage to your roof. Even if it does not, it can still accelerate the deterioration of the roof. If you notice leaks, mildews, and molds, as well as fallen shingles from the roof, then it would be best to call a roofer immediately.
   
   
3. Before listing your home. If you want to make sure you get as much money back for your home, then you will want to ensure that your roof is in good condition before putting it on the market. This way you are aware of any damage that may reduce the value of your home or affect your asking price.
   
   
4. At least once a year. It is recommended to inspect your roof at least once or twice a year, possibly scheduling one during the fall and another in the spring. Having your roof inspected during those seasons will give you a baseline of your roof’s condition ahead of the humid summer and colder winter seasons.

The Importance of a Professional Roof Inspection

Structural integrity is one of the most important things when it comes to the longevity and value of your home, and terrible roofing can guarantee structural damage—especially after a severe storm. Therefore, it is imperative to seek out a roofing specialist to execute routine inspections and address your roofing needs. By hiring a professional to inspect your roof, then you will save time, money, and stress and definitively know whether your roof needs any repairs or if it’s time to have it fully replaced.
