When to Schedule a Roof Inspection

After a successful career as a sales representative for a Chicago-based metal distributor, Phillip Kwilose relocated to Iowa to take a position as the general manager of the contractor firm Five Star Home Improvement, LLC. In this role, Phillip Kwilose manages sales and customer accounts. Five Star offers several construction services, including home exterior and roof repairs.

Roofs need routine maintenance every 15 to 20 years. However, there are some situations where a roof inspection should be scheduled as soon as possible in order to identify and repair any damage before it results in serious mold issues or leaks. These can include.

After a storm - Roofs can sustain damage during weather events with high wind or heavy rainfall, like hurricanes or tornadoes. A roof inspector can assess the damage and provide information that can be used for insurance claims.

Before selling a home - Homeowners may not realize their roofs need repairs until the problem becomes visible and more expensive to fix. This can greatly lower the value of a home. Getting a preventative roof inspection can provide peace of mind to home buyers, and increase the likelihood the home will sell at asking price.

After renovation - Depending on what is being worked on, contractors may walk across a roof while carrying out tasks such as painting or window cleaning. If the roof was already aged or weakened, this extra weight may exacerbate the problem and lead to leaks or shingle damage.
