Bulletproof Roofing

Why Should You Get a Roof Inspection? 1. Assess Weather Damage While the roof is designed to withstand the elements, severe storms can cause damage. For instance, high winds may dislodge shingles, making your property vulnerable to leaks. A fallen tree branch may knock the gutters out of place, disrupting the drainage system. ... Finding and addressing issues promptly can prevent them from becoming more serious and costly problems. For example, a minor hole may allow water to infiltrate the property and compromise the insulation and increase attic humidity, leading to mold growth that can present a health hazard and cause structural damage. 2. Receive Routine Maintenance Besides storms, the cumulative effect of time and exposure to the elementssuch as sunlight or excessive moisturecan lead to problems. Fortunately, a roofing contractor can mitigate most of these issues. During an inspection, a contractor can point out what maintenance is needed to extend your roof’s longevity and prevent damage, such as replacing shingles or cleaning the gutters. 3. Lower Homeowners Insurance Several factors determine homeowners insurance rates, including your property’s condition. Some providers offer lower monthly premiums or credits for homeowners who get annual inspections. This is because having a roofing contractor routinely assess the home can reduce the risk of needing urgent or significant repairs. Having an inspection record can also help if you need to file an insurance claim, as it can provide evidence that you did not have pre-existing damage.
