Roof inspections become necessary in several situations throughout your home's lifecycle. Following severe weather events like hurricanes or tropical storms common to Central Florida, an inspection can reveal storm damage that insurance companies require for claims processing. Annual inspections are recommended to catch minor issues before they escalate into expensive repairs, especially for roofs approaching 10-15 years of age. If you're buying or selling a home, a professional roof inspection provides documentation of the roof's condition and remaining lifespan. Additionally, if you notice warning signs like water stains on ceilings, missing shingles, or increased energy bills, scheduling an inspection helps pinpoint the source of problems.
