Your roof is your home's first line of defense against the elements, yet most homeowners never think about it until something goes wrong. A regular inspection schedule is the single most effective way to catch small problems before they become expensive repairs.
The General Rule: Twice a Year
As a baseline, we recommend a professional roof inspection twice a year—once in the spring and once in the fall. Spring inspections catch damage from winter storms, while fall inspections prepare your roof for the harsh months ahead.

When to Inspect More Often
- After any severe storm with high winds or hail
- If your roof is more than 15 years old
- Before buying or selling a home
- After any nearby construction or tree work
- If you notice granules washing down your downspouts
Signs You Shouldn't Wait
Don't wait for your scheduled inspection if you spot water stains on your ceiling, missing or curling shingles, or sagging areas. These warrant an immediate call.
Homeowner Tip: Keep a simple log of each inspection date and any findings. This record is also valuable documentation if you ever file an insurance claim.
