Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I get my roof checked?
It is generally advisable to get your roof inspected at least once a year, with the National Roofing Contractors Association recommending twice a year, once in the fall and once in the spring. The mild weather in the spring makes it easier to inspect the roof, and safeguard it against the approaching changes in temperature and weather.
However, every roof is not the same, and how often you should get yours inspected also depends on factors like the age of the roof, roofing material, local climate conditions and extreme weather events, maintenance history, and visible signs of damage.
If your roof is showing visible signs of damage like water stains on your ceiling or your area just experienced a harsh weather event like hail or a windstorm, call a competent roof inspection service immediately.
Who should I call to inspect my roof?
If you’re buying or selling a home, a home inspector may inspect your roof to provide a basic evaluation of your entire home. However, it is always better to call a licensed, experienced, and competent professional roofing contractor to perform a robust inspection of your roof.
A roofing professional would have the specialized knowledge and expertise to assess the condition of your roof to identify issues and problem areas and provide recommendations for maintenance or repair.
How much does a roof inspection cost?
The average price for a simple visual inspection lies between $200 and $300 while a roof inspection performed using specialized equipment can cost up to $500 or $600. Compared to the average costs, Icon Roofing performs roof inspections at a highly economical price, charging only $75 per inspection, with the promise to forego charges if you end up getting your roof repaired or replaced.
Can I do my own roof inspection?
Many homeowners prefer to perform their own roof inspections. You may be able to perform a visible inspection from the ground to detect signs of damage such as tearing shingles, clogged drains, and leaks in windows and the roof. You can also inspect your attic to check for sagging in the roof or water stains on the ceiling.
However, even walking on your roof incorrectly can cause damage, and getting up on your roof without the relevant expertise can compromise your safety. A proper and comprehensive roof inspection can be performed completely and reliably only by a roofing professional who is trained to know what to look for.
It is also important to remember that if you plan to make an insurance claim, there is a high probability that the company will require an official report from a licensed roofing professional.
If I see a problem with my roofing system, how long should I wait to get an inspection?If I see a problem with my roofing system, how long should I wait to get an inspection?
You should call a roofing inspector right away if you see a problem with your roofing system. A minor problem can become exacerbated if it is not addressed right away, not only worsening the condition of your roof but also risking a loss of thousands of dollars on repairs or replacement.
For example, a leak that is not fixed can cause mold, which would then require mold removal and roof repair services that can cost a lot more than repairing the leak.
Proactive maintenance and timely repairs can help to keep your roof in peak condition and extend its lifespan. Routine roof inspections are also a cost-effective way to address any problems with your roof before they become major issues.
If you are noticing signs of roof damage or it is simply time for a routine inspection, call us today for a thorough, meticulous roof inspection in Mesa, Arizona.
