Summer is finally here, and as with many kinds of home maintenance, the next three months are typically the best times to be scheduling any necessary roofing services. But unless you can visibly see damage, such as missing shingles or loosened flashing, it can be hard to tell if your roof is in need of any repairs.
This summer, you should consider getting your roof professionally inspected. West Pro is a trusted roofing company that's been servicing Boulder and the surrounding communities since 2017, and we can't stress enough the importance of proper roof maintenance. We know that any reliable roofing service always begins with a thorough inspection, and below are three reasons you don't want to delay getting yours.
1. Your Roof Should Be Inspected Annually
The most obvious reason you should get your roof inspected this summer is if you haven't had an inspection in the last 12 months. No matter the condition your roof appears to be in, most contractors recommend scheduling annual roof inspections to ensure its integrity for the long run. Getting a professional to thoroughly assess your roof at least once a year will significantly reduce the chances of you paying for more expensive fixes down the road.
Right now is the perfect time to get your roof inspected. Weather will be optimal in most areas across the country for the next few months, so if you do need to schedule follow-up repairs, there should be plenty of time to get them done before temperatures start to drop again.
2. Increase Your Home's Energy Efficiency
Across the United States, summer temperatures are significantly higher than other times of year, and most of us will be relying on our heating and cooling systems to get us through the worst of it in June, July and August. However, a healthy roofing system should be able to keep you from utilizing your HVAC system more than necessary, which is our next reason to schedule a roof inspection sooner rather than later.
Understanding the current condition of your roof could result in significantly lower utility costs because any reinforcement or replacements needed can be installed before the consistently hot, sunny days settle in. Some aspects of your roof's energy efficiency levels that an inspection may assess include:
- Identifying Air Leaks
- Reinforcing Insulation
- Improving Ventilation
- Detecting Moisture
3. Preparing Your Home for a Sale
With mild daily temperatures and the kids out of school, it's easy to understand why most people wait until the warm summer days to carry out their household moves. If you have a move planned this summer, it's definitely a good idea to schedule a roof inspection. Getting your roof assessed ahead of time will help you get identify any repairs you need to get done before listing your home. Additionally, getting a professional inspection done could speed up the whole process of selling your home by cutting down on time during negotiations and closing.
