1. Keep Track of Wear and Tear

Any roof will weather and age, and as they age leaks and other damage should be expected. But when you keep track of your roof’s wear and tear, you will be able to monitor any changes. These changes include missing or worn shingles, gutter issues, or flashing that needs to be repaired. Regular inspections help highlight the weathered or worn areas that need to be addressed.


2. Stop the Damage Before It Starts

A leak is not usually the first sign of damage. Leaks are usually an indication that something needs to be addressed right away. They also can point to structural damage. By hiring a professional inspector, they will be able to point out sections of roof that are troublesome, or they will be able to pinpoint areas that should be addressed now before the damage is too great.


3. Warranty Repairs

Roofs leak for a variety of reasons, and some might be covered under your warranty. Having a professional complete the inspection will help you better understand whether or not you should file a claim under the warranty.


4. Storm Damage

Windstorms are common in the Pacific Northwest, and you should always inspect the roof after a storm to check for debris on your roof, and for any damage that may have occurred. After a storm, you should also take the time to check your gutters to make sure they aren’t full.


5. Needed Improvements

Regular inspections help you better understand the necessary improvements that should be made to help get the most life out of your roof.
