Why Do I Need a Roof Inspection?
Believe it or not, the average roof protects your home from damage for about 20 years. But they can only do that if you stay on top of regular maintenance and fix minor damage as soon as you catch it.
For most homeowners, identifying those minor issues can be almost impossible. After all, you don’t get up on your roof every week to monitor its appearance.
That’s why scheduling a professional roof checkup is one of the most important things you can do.
The cost of a roof evaluation by a professional is insignificant compared to the cost of repairing or replacing a roof; this makes regular roof inspections a wise investment. Wouldn’t you prefer to find potential leaks and related damage before they become real problems? And before they lead to major repair bills? It’s really no different than going to a doctor for a checkup even when you’re not feeling sick.

Roofs can leak for years before you see evidence
To add years of life to your roof, the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) recommends two roof inspections each year, by a licensed roofing professional, to avoid premature roof failure. Studies reveal that small leaks are the worst kind of leaks because when undetected they eat away at your home destroying everything in their path, similar to an undetected cancer.
All-inclusive inspections become even more important in slow economic time to ensure you receive the maximum service life from your roof and avoid premature roof replacement. The only people that can afford to ignore their roof are those that can afford to buy a new one.
You can do a preliminary inspection yourself, looking for shingles that are curling, blistering or missing; loose material or wear around chimneys, pipes and other penetrations; and broken or missing tile. To maximize your protection it is better to get a professional to inspect your roof – someone skilled in walking on roofs without causing further damage, who knows what they’re looking for and is experienced in finding those small leaks.

“Your roof could be leaking right now, and you don’t even know it… roofs can leak for up to 13 years before you see evidence on the inside of the house.”
