Your roof looks out for you, so it is crucial that you look out for your roof just as much.
You may be wondering, how often should I get my roof inspected? Or it might be something that has never crossed your mind and that is okay! We are here to help and guide you along the way.
The standard rule of thumb is to have your roof inspected twice a year. Once in the Spring and once in the Fall – prior to the intense seasons that typically follow in Oklahoma. It is important to catch minor problems before matters get worse. Your roof is capable of a very long lifespan if it is well maintained.
Other signs that it might be time for you to get a roofing inspection:
- If you have never had a roofing inspection completed at your current home.
- If you have been in your current home for over a year and have never had a roof inspection or if you have been in your home for years and can’t remember the last time your roof was inspected then it is time for a roof inspection. Your roof protects your home and your family, so it is a good idea to rule out any potential issues and to give yourself peace of mind by scheduling a roof inspection.
- If you are buying a new home.
