Who Needs a Roofing Inspection?
Generally, you need a roofing inspection in Arlington at least once a year. You may require another inspection if you notice signs of damage, plan on buying or selling your house, or experience a storm or natural disaster. Your roof might look fine, but professional roofers can spot damage you can’t see from the ground.
Additionally, some roof warranties require a yearly inspection. Skipping a year could void your warranty and eliminate your benefits.
Other benefits of getting a roofing inspection include:
- Increased safety
- Proof for insurance claims
- Higher property value
- Fewer repairs
- Better drainage
Roof inspections give you peace of mind. When the inspector gives you a clean report, you’ll relax knowing you’re providing your family a safe home. If they find issues, the roofers will perform repairs or replacements before the damage threatens the structural integrity of your roof.
A roof leak inspection can also boost your property value. Potential buyers will see that you’ve hired professionals to check your roof and make improvements before they move in. They could pay more up-front because you’re saving them money in the future.
When you file a claim after a storm, your insurance company may require photographic evidence. Our inspectors could help you take pictures and write a report so that you receive benefits as quickly as possible. Staying on top of inspections also shows insurance companies that you’re not at fault for the incident.
During an appointment, your inspector may check for damaged flashing, cracked shingles, loose gutters, leaks, and structural issues. Afterward, they’ll write a report and make recommendations, such as replacing broken components or investing in a full roof replacement.
Inspectors will also estimate how much time your roof has left so that you can start planning for a roof installation. You’ll discuss materials, such as wood, slate, metal, and asphalt, along with financing options. Once you’re ready, Schmidt Roofing will replace your roof according to your specifications.
