Time To Check Your Roof

Minor problems can quickly become major complaints due to cold weather stresses on your roof. Now is the time to have your roof inspected.Why Do Inspections? Potential leaks and related problems can quickly be discovered with roof inspections. If roof repair is measured in pennies per square foot and roof replacement is measured in dollars per square foot it makes sense to have your roof inspected regularly. Some roofing contractors provide roof inspection services and following the inspection can usually provide an estimate for any repairs needed.What Should Be Checked? A comprehensive inspection of the entire roof should be done with particular attention paid to flashings, perimeters, and any areas where past problems have occurred. Inspections should always be done using a checklist to provide a thorough overview of the situation.

A roof inspection should check:

• The flashings need to checked closely since movement can ultimately cause problems for the roofing system.
• A roof's perimeters since movement in the walls can cause tearing of the flashings.
• Past repairs or "trouble spots" should also be checked.
