Written By Caleb Roche

Wanting to keep your house up-to-date, presentable, and standing? Roof inspections are essential in keeping that safe roof intact and sturdy. Your roof takes care of you and your household, take care of it!


What is a roof inspection?

It is just that, an inspection of your roof by a trained professional to determine your roof's condition, if you need any repairs or restoration. Unlike home inspectors, roof inspectors only specialize in this one thing. They use a specific process and science to uncover any damage, for instance they might take out an infrared sensor to locate moisture or mold. They are trained only on roofs, to help you keep your roof safe and healthy.


When and why should you get a roof inspection?

Hailstorms, and significant weather events are not the only times to schedule a roof inspection. The prime time to get your roof inspected is in the fall before the cold winter weather sets in. Certain repairs such as shingles can not be performed in the cold because they can’t seal down properly, additionally roof repairs are extremely dangerous in icy weather, uncovered problems too late could have to be put off until the spring. Ensuring you have a healthy roof for the winter is a huge stress relief, then you can enjoy the snowy winter blanket that will lay over your house safely. Most roofs' life age is 20-25 years, with aging there can be opening leading to water infiltration, inspections can catch these problems before they get too severe.


How much does an inspection cost?

Depending on your location, the kind of roof you have, the complexity, the cost of an inspection may vary. Most inspections are completely free of charge, some can range between $200-300 on average. This cost can compensate for the expensive repairs from damages that result in not inspecting your roof and catching smaller problems early enough before they become much bigger problems.
