Ignoring your roof and assuming that things are fine is a recipe for disaster. Roof problems develop over time and often aren’t obvious. If you wait until a problem is staring you in the face, you’ll likely wind up with a large bill for repair or replacement that you could have avoided with regular roofing inspections.

When Should You Schedule a Roofing Inspection?

You should have a professional check your roof for damage if a storm brought strong winds, blowing debris, or hail. That’s not the only time you should get your roof checked out, though.

A routine roof inspection can give a contractor an opportunity to identify problems that could otherwise go unnoticed for years. Then you can make repairs, which may be minor and relatively inexpensive, and avoid a much more serious situation down the road.

Why Should You Hire a Roofing Contractor to Conduct an Inspection?

You might be able to spot some obvious signs of damage, such as shingles that have blown off or sections of the roof that are sagging, but you’d most likely miss other issues that could also be serious. A roofing contractor knows what to look for and may notice a problem that you would have missed.

What Will Happen during a Roof Inspection?

A contractor will look at the roof from the ground and climb a ladder to take a closer look at the shingles, soffits, fascia, and flashing. A roofing inspection will also include a check of the interior of the house since roofing problems often cause leaks and other forms of damage in the attic.

The contractor will explain any problem that is found, how serious it is, and what should be done about it. Limited repairs may be enough to remedy the situation, or it may be necessary to replace the roof. It will depend on the age of the roof and how well it has been maintained.
