When Is It Time For An Inspection?
Here are some rules to determine when your roof needs inspection:
- After storms
Anytime a large storm has occurred, you should ensure that your roof is inspected for any possible damage. Due to the hot weather in Arizona during the most part of the year, your roofs should also be inspected after long periods of drought and abnormally high temperatures. This is because such temperatures could dry out and warp the building materials supporting the roof.
- Before selling or refinancing
On many occasions, lenders, as well as buyers, are almost precise about wanting an inspection. By having your roof well inspected and any issues fixed, you get to reduce the hassle and time caused by selling or refinancing your home and maintaining the value of your home.
- Periodic inspections
Since building materials can wear out over time, it is always good to carry out periodic inspections to look for any evident signs of problems. A professional contractor not only spots the problem but also gives out their best to ensure that the roof is back to its original shape and appearance.

What Does a Good Inspection Entail?

- Ceiling leaks and cracks
- Broken, missing, or curled tiles or shingles
- Issues with skylights, fascia, chimneys, and vents as well as gutters and drains
