Do Not Ignore Your Roof – Why Roof Inspections Are So Important

June 29, 2021 by Gateway

Whether an existing homeowner or a potential buyer, roof inspections can help prevent costly repairs in the future.

Just looking at your roof is not enough to determine its actual condition. Needing roof repairs or having your roof replaced can cost you a lot of money. However, roof inspections can help you prevent costly roof repairs in the future.

Prospective homebuyers should schedule a home inspection that includes a roof inspection before purchasing a house so that they can factor in any necessary repairs into the cost of the home. Existing homeowners should schedule routine roof inspections to keep it in good condition.

Common Roofing Problems

When you have your roof inspected, it cannot only detect common roofing issues but also help homeowners prioritize improvement projects. Some of the most common roof problems include:

  • Leak or crack in the roof
  • Missing shingles
  • Shingles buckling or curling
  • Plant or moss growth
  • Roof sagging or drooping

Why Roof Inspections Are Important

To properly maintain your roof, roof inspections are a must. Having your roof checked for weaknesses and problem areas can help you catch them early on and potentially save you hundreds, even thousands of dollars in the long run. You don’t want to wait until something drastic happens. It is better to prevent minor issues from becoming major headaches.

In addition, yearly inspections will help extend the life of your roof. It is also a good idea to have your roof inspected after any major weather events.
