roofing system that receives proper care stays appealing and durable for longer. One way to keep track of this part of your home is through routine inspections. It will help professionals detect and fix minor damage before they require expensive repairs. Regular visits from your roofer will also give you an idea about the remaining life of your roof so you can prepare for its replacement.

Read on to learn when you should schedule a professional roof inspection. 

At Least Once a Year

Experts will agree that you should have your roof inspected and maintained at least once a year. Ideally, you should have your roof assessed in the fall to prepare your it for the colder months. Regular inspections will go a long way in avoiding problems that require costly emergency repairs. To prevent further damage and ensure the rest of your home is safe, promptly address issues your contractor will find. 

After Severe Storms

You should also schedule an inspection from reliable roofers following an extreme weather event. Some signs of storm damage are not obvious, and you won’t know your roof has issues until extensive damage has already occurred. Experienced professionals have the knowledge and skills to spot problems that often go unnoticed by the untrained eye. 

If Your Roof Has Signs of Damage

Does your roof have loose or missing shingles? If so, don’t wait long to contact professionals. It’s the same if your indoor spaces have signs of leaks. Dark stains on walls and ceilings are indications water has entered your living space through the roof. Time is of the essence when it comes to dealing with roof leaks. Failure to resolve them immediately can result in rot, mold growth and other water-related issues.
