Roof Inspection and Maintenance

Any type of climate can damage an asphalt roof and result in significant costs to your business. It’s a good idea to have your roof inspected at least once a year to avoid expensive problems.

If your property is located in an area that experiences snow and ice, inspect the roof after winter weather. In warmer climates, inspect a roof after the extreme heat of summer.

There are several items to look for during your inspection:

  • Worn roof edges (missing or worn granules)
  • Curled asphalt shingles
  • Cracked or missing shingles

 

  • Mold or algae growing on shingles
  • Unusual dips on a roof’s surface
  • Nails that have popped up

If you notice any of these changes, contact a qualified roofer immediately.
