How often should I seek out roof maintenance?

The frequency that roof maintenance is necessary can vary depending on the materials that the roof is made of. There is a wide variety of residential and commercial roof designs that are commonly used. A good place to begin is by doing a visual inspection of the roof from the outside. Damage can often begin in the upper layers of roofs and is a good sign that the material underneath it will eventually be compromised by the elements. Interior signals that roof maintenance is needed are much more obvious, and can take the form of cracks in the ceiling or even leaks during storms. Keep these factors in mind when determining whether or not to actively seek repair:

• Any business that is part of the 1-800-Roofcare network can provide a free estimate on any roof work that needs to be done. This no obligation process means that having a roof looked at by a professional shouldn't be avoided.
• Damaged sections of the roof aren't always obvious from the outside. Layered materials can be weakened allowing water into the lower elements. 
• Roofs should be inspected every three to five years depending on materials used. If you are unsure what material the roof is made of or how frequent it should be inspected, a free estimate is a good place to start.
