 Why a Roof Inspection is Important

A roof is one of the most expensive purchases for your home. Maximizing your investment by getting the full lifespan out of your roof is important. Depending on the type of roofing, your roof could last from 10-40 years. Being proactive with your roof maintenance can  make the difference whether your roof truly lasts long-term. At Dedicated Roofing, we recommend having a roof inspection twice a year, once in the fall and once in the spring. By having your roof checked in the milder seasons, you are prepared for the temperature extremes and inclement weather which can be expected in winter and summer. If you are unsure of the value of a roof inspection, consider the following crucial reasons for staying current on your roof inspections:

•       Be Prepared for Storms—When storms regularly bombard your roof, you can end up with leaks and damage. A roof inspection finds the weak points before weather leads to a compromised roof, which allows for damage on the interior of your home. Be proactive and schedule an inspection instead of needing a bucket in your bedroom catching water.
•       Keep an Eye on Aging—In the same way that we show the wrinkles and gray hairs of age, a roof will start to become weathered from storms, critters, buildup, etc. If the signs of age can be found early on, we can give your roof the face lift it needs before you start having a leak or the need for a premature roof replacement.
•       Discover Leaks—In many cases, leaks are actually the symptom of a much more significant problem. You could have rotting wood, corrosion, or deterioration which was unnoticed until the leak presented itself. When a leak is discovered early on, you could avoid a much more expensive and inconvenient repair later.
•       Notice Unwelcome Visitors—If left unchecked, your roof can quickly become a home for many creatures, plants, and spores. Roof cleaning is important for helping your roof reach its full potential and lifespan. Critters living on your roof can cause damage and eventually find a way into the interior of your home. We can help you evict unwelcome visitors on your roof and get your roof clean.
