Regular roof inspections are key to maintaining your home, especially when weather can be quite unpredictable. From my personal experience, inspecting the roof twice a year is a good rule of thumb—once in the spring and once in the fall. This offers you the opportunity to fix any damage after winter and before the onset of harsh weather conditions. I remember one year I put off an inspection and ended up with minor leaks during a summer storm, which was definitely a lesson learned! Additionally, after severe weather like storms or heavy winds, a quick check can identify any immediate damages. Don’t forget to have a professional roofer do detailed inspections; they can catch issues that might not be obvious to the untrained eye. As I was looking into it, I found a useful page that could be worth your time. On a related note, keeping your gutters clean plays a vital role in roof maintenance, too.
