Summer is the best time to do roofing projects like repair and replacements as the weather is cooperative, and it doesn’t rain that often. That said, you shouldn’t immediately jump right into a project before doing a comprehensive roof inspection.
Our team from Allegiant Roofing explains why a pre-repair inspection is a necessary first step for any roofing project.
Roof Inspections: The Value of a Thorough Inspection
A professional roofer will be able to detect problems on the roof that you can easily miss and will be able to determine the actual state of the roof structure. Most roofing problems actually form beneath the roof surface, an area usually inaccessible to you. Failure to detect problems means you’ll miss them during your roof repair project, which means they may become a bigger and more expensive concern in the near future.
A thorough roof inspection also allows you to get an idea of the state of your roof’s ventilation, insulation and general moisture levels. Attic ventilation is especially important as it is what allows your roof to “breathe” – keeping it from becoming too humid during summer and from growing brittle during winter.
When you do an in-depth inspection of these critical components of your roof, you’ll have a better idea of the right course of action to address these concerns.
Roof Inspections Help You Decide
The warnings signs that your roof will require repair and replacement are similar, and it’s easy to make a mistake and decide on one course of action when the roof actually needs the other one. You can avoid these unknowns and costly mistakes in judgment when you get a roof inspection. This first step helps you decide on the best course of action for it.
