The Best Time of Year to Inspect Your Roof
It's important to have a roof inspection done regularly-at least every few years. However, there is no "right" time of year to do this inspection. It depends on your climate and the weather conditions in your area.
​
In general, the best time of year to have an inspection is when the weather is mild-not too hot or too cold. This way, you can comfortably climb onto your house or business to take a closer look. Spring or Fall are usually good times to do this.

What to Expect During a Roof Inspection in Sykesville, MD
A roof inspection is an important part of home maintenance. It's a way to identify any potential problems before they become bigger and more expensive to fix.
​
When you contact a roofing company to schedule an inspection, they will likely ask you some questions about your roof and your home. They will want to know the age of your roof, what type of roof you have, and if you've had any recent repairs or replacements.
The roofing company will then send a certified inspector to your home to take a closer look. The inspector will typically spend a few hours on your roof, checking for any signs of damage or wear and tear. They will also take pictures and make notes so they can provide you with a detailed report.
After the inspection is complete, we will send you a report that outlines any problems they found and their recommendations for repair or replacement. They will also give you an estimate of the cost of these repairs. If you have insurance, they may be able to help you file a claim.

How Often Should You Inspect Your Roof?
It depends on the age of your roof, if there have been a lot of storms that year, and whether or not your home is surrounded by trees. A brand new roof might not need an inspection until year 8 or 10 because that is around the time when sealants break down and the roof could use some miner maintenance.
​
A roof that is over 15-years old should have an inspection every other year at the least. And a roof over 20 years old should have an inspection every year. This is, of course, if the roof is a shingle roof. If the roof is standing seam metal, it can last a bit longer between inspections since that roof system tends to last longer in general.​​
​
Flat roofs follow pretty much the same course as mentioned above for shingle roofs. And as we know, there are quite a few homes in Sykesville, MD, that are surrounded by trees, in which case it might be reasonable to have them checked once a year. It is quite easy for a storm to cause branches to fall and puncture a roof without your knowledge.​
​
An often forgotten part of the roof system are the gutters. Even if you have gutter covers, if they are not cleaned out or at least looked at every year, they can easily become a problem. Water will back up and overflow into the eaves, which will cause wood rot and extensive damage that won't be seen until it becomes a large and expensive project.​
