Have you ever had a professional roof inspection? You may think you have, however, many roofing companies who perform roof repair inspections, only inspect enough of the roof to find the cause of the leak and make a estimate for a repair. We also remind homeowners that their home inspection did not include a roof inspection.
Reason # 1 – When Buying or Selling a Home
If you are buying a home, you may think that a home inspection is a roofing inspection, however, it isn’t. Although the home inspector looks at the roof, because they are not an experienced roofer, they do not always catch issues. In fact, they rarely even climb on the roof. And, that could end up costing you in the long run. Paying for a roof inspection in addition to the home inspection before you close on the home is always a good idea. The only exception is if the roof comes with a transferable warranty and is less than two years old. As a seller, providing a report from a local roofer stating that the roof is in good condition can help your home sell faster and closer to asking price than a home without a roof inspection report.
Reason #2 – Something Just Doesn’t Look Right
Whether you’ve owned your home for years or it’s new to you, if something looks off, chances are something is. By calling your roofer and asking for an inspection, you can save yourself thousands in repair costs if your hunch was right. If it wasn’t, your roofer can perform preventative maintenance and give you peace of mind.
Reason #3 – You’ve Never Had a Roofer Look at Your Roof
Just as you preventatively get your car’s oil changed and have someone tune-up your HVAC system once or twice a year, your roof will benefit from preventative maintenance. When you hire an experienced roofing company to perform an inspection, they look for things like loose shingles before they become missing shingles. They also can spot other signs of damage before they become a big problem leading to water damage inside your home.
