FAQs
How often should I get my roof inspected?
It is recommended to have your roof inspected at least twice a year, in the spring and fall. Additionally, it’s wise to have inspections after severe weather events such as heavy rain, hail, or strong winds to ensure there has been no damage.
What does a roof inspection include?
A roof inspection includes a thorough examination of all roof components such as shingles, flashing, gutters, and downspouts. Inspectors will also check for signs of water damage, structural integrity, and possible sources of leaks. They may go into the attic to assess the underside of the roof for proper insulation and ventilation.
How can I tell if my roof has damage?
Signs of roof damage include missing or cracked shingles, granules in gutters, water stains on ceilings or walls, sagging areas, and visible mold or mildew. Regular professional inspections can help identify these issues early before they lead to significant damage.
Are roof inspections covered by insurance?
Most insurance policies cover the cost of roof inspections if they are required after damage from covered perils like storms or fires. Routine maintenance inspections, however, are generally not covered by insurance policies. It's best to check with your insurance provider for specifics.
How long does a roof inspection take?
A typical roof inspection takes about 1 to 2 hours to complete, depending on the size and complexity of the roof. Thorough inspections may take longer if issues are discovered that require a more in-depth assessment.
What should I do if the inspection finds damage?
If damage is found during your roof inspection, it’s important to address these issues promptly. You should get a detailed report from the inspector outlining the damage and recommended repairs. Then, obtain quotes from reputable roofing contractors and work with your insurance company if the damage is covered. Resolving issues quickly can prevent further damage and more costly repairs down the line.
