A sound roof is important to the integrity of your property. Regular inspections and maintenance will prolong the lifespan of your roof and will help find problems early to avoid costly issues. So how often should you have your roof inspected? Lexington, KY’s Allsystems Roofing explains.

According to the National Association of Home Builders, new roofs in good condition can be inspected every three years, unless you reside in an area that experiences tough weather every season. If you aren’t sure, you can gauge when to get it done by the other homes in your neighborhood. If neighbors are getting repairs and inspections done, you may consider checking on your roof, too.

If your house has been through a bad storm or harsh weather, it’s best to have the inspection as soon as possible to check for damage. Don’t wait, especially if there is water damage or leaking, and don’t assume a warranty will get you out of every issue. Many manufacturers state that the warranty is voided if the roof isn’t maintained regularly.

Licensed roofing contractors will examine every piece of your roof structure to inspect for signs of problems such as missing, curling, or torn roof shingles, sagging, holes, or water damage. If everything is in working order, great! If they find something, they will guide you to the correct repair services, and early detection will be less pricey than a big repair later.
