Although a home’s roof serves as the primary shield against the elements, roof maintenance is frequently overlooked until glaring problems arise. Hidden complications could be brewing beneath the surface, and if left unnoticed, could lead to serious damage. Regular roof inspections are imperative to prevent potential hidden dangers from compromising the safety and comfort of your home.
During roof certification insurance inspections, KC Inspections provides an overview of roof surface condition and material type (3 tab, architectural shingle, metal, tile, modified bitumen, et al).
Our certified inspectors inspect the roof surface, provide an estimate for the remaining useful life of the roof coverings, inspect main portions of attic for stains and/or leaks and also provide permit dates. (It’s always important to pull permit for major work even if homeowners are doing the work themselves).
Having your roof regularly inspected provides several benefits - and can ultimately save you quite a bit of money down the road.
Early Detection of Hidden Issues
Hidden damage is where most major problems begin. Minor leaks that go unnoticed as well as moisture buildup and deterioration of shingles can undermine a roof’s integrity.
Without regular roof inspections, these issues can remain hidden and only become apparent after they have caused extensive damage. Because these issues are “hidden” and unnoticeable to the untrained eye roofs require a certified inspector, like those at KC Inspections, to identify and evaluate potential problems.
Extension of Roof Life
Professional evaluation coupled with proactive maintenance ensure all of the roofing components function optimally, delaying the need for a full roof replacement.
As part of their inspection, KC Inspections not only evaluates the roof, but provides an estimate for the remaining useful life a roof. This enables homeowners to budget and plan accordingly.
Peace of Mind
Regular roof inspections provide homeowners an enormous peace of mind and sense of security knowing that your roof is in good condition.
Neglecting roof inspections can be severe. Over time, unchecked minor problems can evolve into major issues such as structural damage, interior water damage, and even roof collapse. The financial burden of repairing or replacing a roof far exceed the cost of regular maintenance.
To fully realize the advantages of roof inspections, homeowners should adhere to a consistent schedule. The experts at KC Inspections recommend a professional inspection at least once per year with additional checks following severe weather events. This helps ensure that any damage is quickly identified and remedied.
In order to protect your investment, extend the life of your roof and ensure the safety and comfort of your home, incorporate roof inspections into your regular home maintenance routine now. Get started today by contacting KC Inspections at kcenterprisesfl@gmail.com to schedule an appointment.
