Spring is a great time to go through your to-do list and get your home in tip-top shape for the warmer months. In this article, roof maintenance company Advanced Roofing talks about why you should have your roof inspected at the beginning of spring season. 

Why Do It?

Because the weather is warmer in springtime, it allows you to carry out ground-level outdoor inspections without any discomfort. Any leaks, missing shingles or damaged flashing that may have been covered by a buildup of ice or snow can now be easily noticed and addressed. Your roofer can safely inspect your roof without having to worry about slippery surfaces. Finally, when you have your roof inspected in the spring, you can schedule timely repairs and replacements before the scorching summer kicks in.

What to Check For

A roofing installation contractor shares some signs of a damaged roof you will want to look for:

• Discolored, broken, curling, or missing shingles
• Loose flashing, rust spots, or loose seams
• Blocked roof vents and downspouts
• Shingle granules in the gutters
• Loose or leaking gutters

You should also perform an interior inspection, and check for signs of water damage in the attic. Warning signs you need to be aware of include mold and mildew growth, condensation buildup, stained or sagging ceilings, cracked paint, peeling wallpaper and damp floorboards.

Hire a Professional

Ideally, roof inspections should be done twice a year, once in the fall and once in the spring. Whether or not you see visible signs of water or structural damage, it is a smart move to bring on a roofing contractor before the season ends. A trained professional will be able to spot potential issues before they spiral out of control and cause further damage that is even more costly to fix.
