An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. This famous expression is very relevant when we talk about roof repairs. Regular roof inspections help identify minor faults that could later lead to severe damage to the roof. When is the best time to inspect your roof? How often should you call a roofing surveyor and have your roof checked?
Our experts will give you five big reasons for regular roof checks inspections.
You just bought a house
Unfortunately, it is not always known when the roof of the house was last changed. Therefore, when buying a house, it is highly recommended to carry out the first scheduled inspection of the roof and use the services of a roofing company.
You have been the owner of the house for a long time
If you’ve owned a building for a long time but still don’t know when the roof was repaired or replaced, it’s time to check the roof. A qualified roofing specialist will inspect the roof and report on its condition. The report will include the condition of all roof elements, including an estimate of any necessary repairs or replacements.
Your neighbors decide to change the roof
Usually, houses in the same area are being built at the same time by the same construction company. Therefore, it is very likely that the roof of your house is made from the same materials and is in the same condition as the roof of your neighbor’s house. If your neighbor’s roof needs to be replaced, your roof will soon fall into disrepair too. If you see that a neighbor is changing the roof, our main advice is to get ready to replace yours in the near future. To find out the cost of a new roof for your home, you need to find a reliable company that will inspect your roof and give you an honest report and estimate for the job. This inspection can help you identify and repair ongoing damage that can be fixed and extend the life of your roof. In this way, you will have the opportunity to start planning and preparing for a roof replacement in the future. Fall is generally the best time for a routine roof inspection, as a roofing company has time to make the necessary repairs and get the roof ready for winter.

Rooftops in Pittsburgh are often damaged by strong winds and storms. Such damage is often difficult to see with the naked eye.
