Addressing damages and preventively maintaining a roof is a key factor in keeping costs low.

When is a good time for a homeowner to plan for roof maintenance?

Roof repairs and inspections are a regular part of owning a home and should be planned for accordingly. Because so many different materials can be used in roof construction, it can be hard to predict when an inspection is necessary. Most professionals recommend an inspection every three to five years. During that inspection the roof care professional can give a more accurate prediction of how often roof maintenance is needed. There are many problems that occur both suddenly and require immediate repairs. If a large storm is moving into the area, a homeowner should conduct a visual inspection of the roof both before and after it passes through the area. If a homeowner is considering getting their roof inspected but isn't sure if it is necessary, they should keep the following in mind:

• A roof inspection is preventative maintenance that can reduce risks and long term costs. Emergency repairs are always much more expensive and are rushed.
• Any business that is found with the 1-800-Roofcare network will provide a free estimate on any work that needs to be done.
• A roofing professional can often find problems that are difficult to spot. Broken seals and damaged insulation can sometimes occur without the exterior changing in appearance.

What specific roof damages should a homeowner be watching for?

If damage is suspected, a homeowner needs to schedule an inspection with a professional. Small problems can grow overnight into large repairs. The faster that a trained roofing expert is involved, the better. Weather is a large factor in roof damage and large storms should always be followed by a visual inspection of the roof. Seals can break and tiles or shingles can break off during storms. Precipitation that is warm or cold can cause equal amounts of damage and should be treated with respect. The following damages are some of the most common examples that homeowners should watch for:

• An aging roof is the simplest form of damage that occurs over time. If a homeowner spots tiles or shingles that have come loose or detached completely, a roof maintenance appointment is needed.
• Buckling tiles or shingles can indicate a section of the roof that may have been constructed improperly. This can also be a warning sign that a seal has broken.
• A sagging ceiling on the interior is clear evidence that the roof has begun to leak somewhere nearby. Wooden supports will soak massive amounts of moisture, but will become damaged over time.
• Stained and discolored sections of the exterior usually point to mold, algae or moss growing on the roof. These can trap moisture and wear down the roof.
• Weather damage is not limited to precipitation. High winds, debris and falling branches can cause sudden damage to the roof.
