1. New Roofs: For newly installed roofs, it's recommended to schedule an inspection within the first year to ensure proper installation and identify any defects.
2. Annual Inspections: Once your roof is a few years old, it's advisable to have it inspected annually, preferably before and after the winter season. This is especially important in regions with harsh weather conditions, as winter storms and extreme temperatures can cause damage.
3. Older Roofs: If your roof is older (10+ years), it's best to have it inspected twice a year, as older roofs are more susceptible to wear and tear.
4. After Severe Weather: After a major storm or other extreme weather event, it's important to inspect your roof as soon as possible for any damage.
5. If You Notice Issues: If you observe any problems or signs of damage on your roof, such as leaks, missing or cracked tiles, sagging, or excessive granule loss (in case of asphalt shingles), it's crucial to have it inspected immediately to prevent further deterioration.
By following these guidelines, you can ensure that your roof is in good condition and proactively address any maintenance or repair needs to prolong its lifespan and protect your property from water damage.
