Professional Services to Extend Your Roof’s Lifespan

A roof inspection is a critical part of overall maintenance, and it's important to have a professional roofing contractor conduct the inspection. A roof inspection allows homeowners to gain a better understanding of the current state of their roof and any possible issues that may need to be addressed. It also allows for the detection of possible damage caused by weather events that occurred before the inspection.

How Often Should a Roof Be Inspected?

The frequency of roof inspections depends on the type of roofing material used and the age of the roof. Asphalt shingle roofs can last up to 20 years, while slate roofs can last up to 50 years. Since slate roofs are more durable, they may not need as frequent inspections. However, homeowners should still have their slate roof inspected every 5 to 10 years.

In addition to the age of the roof, the geographic location of the home is also a factor in determining how often inspections should be performed. Roofs in areas with frequent weather events, such as tornadoes, hurricanes, and ice storms, should be inspected more frequently. In Connecticut, roofs should be inspected every 2 to 3 years.

How Does a Roof Inspection Work?

During the inspection, a roofing contractor will walk across the roof and look for any signs of damage, such as missing shingles, cracks in the roof deck, or discoloration in the roofing material. The roofing contractor will also look for signs of water damage, such as water stains or mold growth.

The roofing contractor will also check the flashing around the roof, chimneys, and other areas that are vulnerable to water damage. The inspection will also check for proper ventilation and determine if the roof vents need to be replaced. The roofing contractor will then write up a detailed report that includes information about the current state of the roof and any issues that were detected during the inspection.
